Bin fire prompts police probe
AN ARSON attack on a set of bins has sparked a police probe.
Three commercial bins were gutted and smoke spread to offices at Eastleigh House and Wessex House at 1.43am this morning.
The blaze was started in the rubbish bunker underneath the offices and caused minor heat damage to the floor above and some smoke damage.
The fire is being treated as suspicious and a police investigation has been launched.
Eastleigh watch manager Anton Phillips said: "The concrete room contained the fire quite well if not the damage cause could have been much worse."
