POLICE have stepped up their appeal for information on a series of arson incidents that have created fear in a quiet part of Cleethorpes.
This week, they have been leafleting households in the Croft Baker ward - around Trinity Road, Highgate, Sherburn Street and Thrunscoe Road - in the hope that someone might have CCTV footage or cellphone images that could provide vital clues.
They also seek information - as "a matter of urgency" - from anyone who has seen one or more individuals loitering or behaving suspiciously in the vicinity of these locations.
Since the beginning of March, the empty Thrunscoe adult education centre and several cars have been torched under cover of darkness in the small hours.
In several cases, flames have spread to adjacent properties putting life in mortal danger.
Says Det-Insp Kerry Bull: "I know this recent spate of fires in Cleethorpes has been a cause of concern to our local community."
Over Easter, a man in his 20s was arrested, and it is understood he remains in police custody.
Anyone with information should contact the 101 number, quoting the reference number: 16/41028/20.
