POLICE are looking for a youth after a car was severely damaged by fire in Glebe Road, Darlington, tonight.
Police and the fire brigade were alerted to the incident at just after 8pm.
The young male, who was seen smashing a window and throwing something inside, ran off in the direction of Salters Lane North.
He is described as small, wearing dark clothing, with a white stripe on the top of his trousers, and a hat.
The fire service took just a few minutes to bring the blaze under control, but the car was extensively damaged inside.
The vehicle will be forensically examined by the police tomorrow to determine the exact cause of the fire.
