A box of bus tickets in Chelmsford Bus Station were set alight in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Firefighters were called to Duke Street at 3.15am following reports of paper alight in the street.

Upon arrival they discovered that somebody had set fire to the box inside the bus station.

A Chelmsford fire station spokesman said firefighters arrived to discover a large group of rowdy people who had just come out of the town's clubs, but were unable to pinpoint the cause of the fire.
