Police are investigating following a spate of deliberate wheelie bin fires in the Retford area.
Although there has been no significant damage, officers are concerned it may be just a matter of time until some serious damage is caused or worse still lives are put at risk.
Fire crews were called to three bin fires in the Broadleigh Court area of Ordsall during the early hours of Tuesday (31 October 2023).
The fires were extinguished, and police are continuing with their inquiries, including checking CCTV footage, to identify and trace the offenders.
Over the past two weeks, blue light services have responded to a number of deliberate fires to bins, rubbish, and trees in the Retford and Ordsall areas.
Police and fire colleagues are now re-appealing to parents to talk to their children about the dangers of starting fires deliberately.
