Yobs who burgled a house after apparently learning the owner was on holiday through Facebook allegedly returned to start a fire in the garden.
Terrifying CCTV footage captured billowing smoke and fierce flames erupting outside a home in front of a police van, which had been sent following a break-in.
The video, taken from a neighbouring property, shows two hooded men approaching the door before the fire was started.
Police confirmed they had been called to the address to investigate a burglary and were present when shrubs were set alight in a front garden.
A jar containing cash had earlier been stolen from the property in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire.
