A FIRE at a factory unit in Brockmoor is being treated as arson.

Fire crews were called to Leys Road at 3.45am yesterday (Wednesday) to tackle the blaze at the single-storey unit, which contained a car and vehicle spares.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused, but nobody was injured.

Enquiries are underway, including a CCTV trawl.

Anyone who can assist police should call 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
