Witness appeal after arson attack at football club

Two storage containers were torched last month, destroying the contents inside

Police are looking for four boys who were seen running away from a suspected arson attack at a football club.

Thousands of pounds worth of kit and equipment belonging to Swindon Supermarine Youth FC was destroyed in a fire at Webbswood Stadium on 28 August at around 14:30 BST.

Wiltshire Police say the blaze is believed to have been started deliberately between two metal containers.

They have described the boys as being in their early or mid-teens, seen running away from the site towards the woods in the direction of Sevenhampton.

The fire spread between two containers

They are thought to be of a slim build and were wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and navy blue or black hoodies.

Police enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is urged to come forward.

It comes as a fundraiser to replace the kit, which includes summer tournament apparatus, has reached over £1,800.

The Club's Chairman said he was "fuming" about the attack, after the hard work of volunteers to build the club up.
