Police are appealing for information after a fire was deliberately started in the grounds of  Heysham High School last month.

The incident happened on Tuesday 12th June between 1.20 1.30 in the morning when five waste bins spread out in different locations around the school grounds were set alight.

One of the fires spread to the entrance of the sports centre, causing extensive damage.

PCSO Chris Dyson said, “I would appeal for anyone with information about this incident to come forward and contact Morecambe police.

“This is a mindless act that has caused thousands of pounds worth of damage and those people responsible need to be caught and brought to justice.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Morecambe police on 101.

• People with information can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or on-line at Crimestoppers-uk.org. No personal details are taken, information is not traced or recorded and you will not go to court.
