Police are looking for three masked teenagers after a spate of “arson” incidents in a Wiltshire town.
An investigation has been launched into a string of fires in Westbury, which police believe were started deliberately.
Multiple household wheelie bins and commercial bins, as well as garden fencing and a shed, were set on fire between 11pm on May 19 and 4am on May 20.
The fires took place around the High Street, Edward Street, Eden Vale Road, Indigo Gardens, Eastleigh Court, Station Road and West End Road.
Three males, who police believe to be teenagers and were all wearing face coverings, were spotted in the area around the time of the fires.
