- BY MARTIN FRICKER

ANGERED Tony del Busso A FURIOUS ice cream man claims his two vans were torched by arsonists as part of a bitter summer holidays turf war.

Tony Del Busso believes rival sellers may have targeted his family-run business setting the vans alight on his drive.

The blaze also spread to his house in Hinckley, Leics, destroying a garage and bedroom on Thursday.

The 50-year-old, known as Mr Cool, who runs the business with his wife Yvonne said: “We suspect because of the fact they targeted two ice cream vans, it was something to do with competitor­s stopping us from trading.

“This time of year, we are heavily booked. It’s destroyed the business.
