Investigation into Battersea arson attacks
The fire brigade is investigating a series of arson attacks in Battersea yesterday - the latest in a spate of attacks in recent months.
Firemen were called to three fires in the Surrey Lane Estate and Parkham Street, all in bins, one at 9am, one in the afternoon and one after 10pm.
Fire crews put them all out within minutes, with no one injured or any significant damage.
There have been a number of bin fires in the area over a period of two months which the arson prevention department is investigating.
A spokesperson for the fire service said: "We have got an on-going investigation into bin fires in that area."
