AN industrial bin was torched by arsonists yesterday night, Thursday.

Fire crews from Warrington Fire Station were called to Grasmere Avenue in Orford shortly after 8pm.

A spokesman for Cheshire Fire Service said the blaze was started deliberately.

They added: "Crews have been busy over the past few evenings with anti social related arson. It appears the bonfire celebrations are starting a little early.

"Take the time to secure your bins and limit the risk of fire."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101.
