Firefighters tackled a car blaze in the early hours this morning in a vehicle that is believed to have been stolen.

Crews from Plaistow and East Ham were called to Foxglove Gardens, Wanstead, at around 4am.

It is thought the thieves abandoned the car and set it on fire which spread to the car parked next to it.

There were no injuries as both vehicles were unoccupied and firefighters brought the blaze under control in around half an hour.
