Police investigate suspicious bin fires in Oswestry
Police are appealing for witnesses to two incidents where bins had been set on fire in Oswestry today.
The bins were set alight on two separate locations between 10am and 1:30pm. The first fire occurred at the rear of the British Heart Foundation store in Cladw Du which caused significant damage to the bin and some damage to external building.
The second fire occurred at the neighbouring street, Willow Street, where a member of the public saw the bin 'smoking' and was extinguished by fire officers before it could properly take hold.
West Mercia Police are appealing for anyone who knows anything about the two fires, or who may have seen one or more people acting suspiciously in the area at the time, to contact the Police on 101 quoting incident number 0222S of 23 July 2014.
