Article: Spate of bin fires in town.

SEVERAL wheelie bins were set alight in March and officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

The incidents took place in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Three of the wheelie bins - which were all on Morton Avenue - were set alight between 2.45am and 3am.

One more wheelie bin was set alight in Badgeney Road, March, at around 5.15am.

One of the occupants of the houses where the bins were set alight was woken by their smoke detector.

They then alerted their neighbours, whose bins had also been set on fire.

The incidents are being treated as arson.
