TWO Grimsby have been damaged by flames after wheelie bins were set alight.  

At Barretts Rec, on Scartho Road, flames from three bins caused damage to the Tarmac near the swings and scorched part of an adjacent hedge.

At Quantock Park, in Scartho, a basket swing was destroyed after a bin was placed underneath it was ignited.

It is thought repairs will cost about £10,000.

Anyone with information is urged to phone  Humberside Police at  101 quoting the crime reference number 26000023827 for Barretts Rec and 26000004863 for Quantock Park.
