A GANG of masked youths armed with a baseball bat threw a petrol bomb at a car in Wigan which hit a gas pipe and caused a fire.
The group of 10 youths were targeting the vehicle parked in Stanley Road, Platt Bridge, but missed and hit the street's gas supply.
Residents had to be evacuated from their home while the blaze was put out.
