An investigation has been launched after a firebomb attack on a home in Keighley.

The incident took place in the early hours of this morning (5 September) when a “device” was thrown at a property on Westburn Avenue, off Oakworth Road. 

The object smashed the first layer of a double-glazed window. A fire service spokesperson said that if the device had gone through the window it could have caused “a substantial amount of damage”. 

It is believed three people were inside the property at the time.
