A house was petrol-bombed and five people arrested in dramatic scenes in Nantwich last night.
Fire crews had to put out a fire after a front door was believed to be targeted in a suspected arson attack on Davenport Avenue.
And when police arrived, they arrested five people in suspicion of drug related offences.
