Fire damage in woodland area in Lordshill. photo from: Shirley Police/Twitter.
COMMUNITY leaders have said they are "saddened" by city arson attacks that could "easily turn into tragedy".
Over the last few weeks, bushes, a portable toilet and a bin have been torched in a spate or arsons in the Lordshill area.
Firefighters have had to be called each time to put the blazes out and now an investigation has been launched with officers claiming that children aged between 12 and 14 were seen nearby.
Councillors from the area have now warned against these acts that, they say, are making resident's lives "a misery".
