In an ironic twist of fate, a motorbike thief returned to the scene of the crime to save his former victim’s life. Three years after stealing his motorbike, Robert Ward awoke Michael Tull and his lodger after their house was allegedly set alight in an arson attack in Felixstowe, England.
Ward said "I was coming up the road on the bus and saw the fire, so I got off and just did what I had to do and rescued them. It was very, very scary."
Police have launched an investigation into the cause of the blaze and are treating it as ‘arson with intent to endanger life’.
Officers have appealed for anyone with information or who saw anything suspicious to contact them on 01473 613500.
