A "large amount" of items inside a clothing bank went up in flames last night in a suspected arson attack.
A fire crew was called out to a clothing bin outside the Morrisons Daily Withywood branch on Four Acres, at around 11.30pm on Sunday (January 16).
The call-out followed another blaze just before 11pm in a rubbish bin on Sherrin Way, which was not thought to be deliberate.
