ARSONISTS broke into a derelict building in Bradford and set fire to the ceiling.

Firefighters from Odsal, Halifax and Dewsbury stations were called to a former working men's club on Dovesdale Road, West Bowling, at about 9.45pm on Saturday.

A spokesman for Odsal station said there were signs of forced entry to the building, and added: "They had set fire to the false ceiling tiles behind the bar."

The fire damage was confined to the roof and some beams. The spokesman said the building could be knocked down on Tuesday.
