Arrests after trees set on fire in Warmley and Barrs Court

Police are investigating after trees were set on fire outside three homes on Monday night.

There were two fires reported in Barrs Court and one in Warmley.

Two men, both aged 20, were arrested in Warmley by patrolling officers at about 1am on Tuesday June 26. An 18-year-old man, who had been spoken to by officers earlier in the night, was arrested later the same day. All three have been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
