A home was partially destroyed by a fire caused by an e-bike left on charge, a fire service said.

Crews from Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue were called to the property in St Margaret's Avenue in Luton at about 22:30 GMT on Wednesday.

The fire destroyed a kitchen-diner in the home and was caused by what the fire service believed to be "a homemade conversion" of an electric bike, which had been left charging.

No-one was injured, they said.
