Police are appealing for video footage after a house fire in Derbyshire, which officers believe was started deliberately.

Derbyshire Police said the fire began at the front door of a property in Kingsley Avenue, Birdholme, Chesterfield, shortly after 16:30 GMT on Saturday.

Nobody was injured, and it was thought that two men started it intentionally, said the force.

Detectives are appealing for witnesses, as well as CCTV, doorbell and dashcam footage that may help.

A police spokesperson said: "We also want to hear from motorists with dashcam footage that may feature a silver BMW with a soft top, being driven in the area around the time."
