Three homes were set ablaze in Sheffield early in the morning. Police are investigating these linked arson attacks.
The first fire occurred on Sunday at 3:52 AM on Tynker Avenue when someone lit a bin on fire. The fire spread to a nearby house, damaging its front. Another fire started at 5:47 AM in Bramshill Close. This time, a caravan was set ablaze, and the fire spread to another house, causing some damage.
On Tuesday at 1:56 AM, a third fire occurred on Meadow Gate Avenue, where a wheelie bin was set on fire. The fire spread to a house and two cars, a Land Rover and a Porsche. Both vehicles and the house sustained damage.
Firefighters went to all three locations and, thankfully, no one suffered injuries. Police believe someone deliberately started these fires and think the fires may be connected.
