A 30-year-old man has been charged with arson after fire crews were called to reports of a car on fire in Crediton.
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue attended the incident in the Spruce Park area of the town at around 5.45pm on Tuesday, March 17.
Three fire engines were deployed, and firefighters found two cars on fire upon arrival.
The blaze was extinguished but one of the cars was completely destroyed and the other was seriously damaged.
Guy Webb, of St Marys Hill, Brixham, appeared in Exeter Magistrates’ Court on Friday, March 20.
No plea was given, as arson is an indictable-only offence, meaning the matter must be handled in the crown court.
The man was remanded in custody until April 23 where he will appear at Exeter Crown Court to give a plea.
