A Porsche dealership storage facility has been targeted by suspected arsonists, causing more than three million pounds worth of damage.
The garage was being used to store a number of vehicles by Porsche Centre Bolton, including a Porsche Carrera GTS.
Two men were seen entering the building shortly before the fire broke out and it is believed they broke through a back door and started the fires throughout the garage.
Greater Manchester Police and the Fire Investigation Team are investigating whether the fire was an arson attack.
DCI Chris Bridge of GMP’s Bolton borough, said: “This was a deliberate act that caused extensive damage to both the building and the high value cars inside.
“It is clear that this was a planned act and our investigation will explore why someone chose to do this.
“I am just grateful that no-one was injured as a result of this reckless behaviour.
Watch manager Ian Read, said: “There were such dangerous conditions inside the building for the firefighters because it’s thick, black, acrid smoke, right to the floor and you can’t see your hand in front of your face.”
