Police are investigating after four reports of arson in a Surrey village in which a car and three bins were set alight.
The incidents happened around Sole Farm Avenue, Post House Lane, East Street, and Leatherhead Road in Bookham between 23:00 BST and midnight on Saturday, Surrey Police said.
All four fires were extinguished and there were no injuries.
The force said it was "particularly keen" to speak to a group of three teenagers, aged between 16 and 17, who were seen nearby.
Officers have been conducting house-to-house enquiries and have been gathering CCTV footage and witness statements.
Insp James Green, borough commander, said the force was "taking this matter very seriously and will take robust action against those found responsible".
He appealed for anyone who may have seen anything to come forward.
