Building site hit by seventh arson attack in less than a year

An abandoned building blighted by arson attacks has again been set alight for the seventh time in less than a year.

The most recent blaze at the abandoned terrace on Trinity Street, Runcorn, was reported at 6.04pm on Monday. Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) said a suitcase had been set alight, prompting the crew to extinguish the flames.

A CFRS spokeswoman said crews have tackled nine blazes on Trinity Street since August, with seven of those at the “abandoned construction site”.
