A pair of pyro thugs have been caught on CCTV setting fire to a cafe in the early hours of Monday morning.
A pair of masked individuals were recorded as they set the front of the high street business ablaze.
One of the yobs appears to get licked by the huge flames as they engulf the shutters of the cafe.

In the clip, the pair can be seen pouring some type of liquid on the metal opening before they appear to spark it with a lighter.
The shocking footage was taken around 01:54 am on Monday (5 Oct), as reported by Need To Know.
The business targeted was Cafe Algarve, located on Lincoln Road, Peterborough.
The CCTV footage shows one of the men stepping back whilst the other kneels down to spark the flames.
Suddenly, the entirety of the picture is engulfed by a huge roaring flame.
Bizarrely, the masked man who set the building alight seems to be caught on the backside by the fire.
The pair then quickly flee the scene, sprinting out of view.
The clip has gone viral online with over 18,000 views.
Members of the public have been left shocked by the footage.
One person said: “Put themselves on fire too.”
Another viewer added: “Setting fire to someone’s livelihood at 2 am while filming it?
“Pure Malice.
“Cafe Algarve deserved better than this cowardly attack.”
One other person wrote: “The idiot nearly burned himself.”
Another person said: “Why, just why?”
Jam Press has approached the Cambridgeshire Constabulary for a comment.
