A masked gang launched a Molotov cocktail through the window of a car as its owners slept peacefully in their beds just feet away.
The shocking attack was carried out by three men outside a residential property in Selly Park, Birmingham, in the early hours of the morning on January 15.
Captured on CCTV, the three men run up to the Mercedes before one smashes the petrol bomb through a window.
Thankfully the home-owners were not harmed in the attack, after they were awoken by the sound of the glass smashing and raised the alarm before the fire could spread.
West Midlands Police are now hunting those responsible and believe that people in the local area may be able to help.
A spokesman said: 'The blaze could easily have caused more damage or resulted in serious injury as it was parked so close to the house.
'The three men in the CCTV have their faces covered, but officers believe someone may have seen them in the area, or may know who is responsible.'
