Appeal after suspected arson attack in garden

Officers were called to Berrisford Street in Coalville on Saturday night

A fire believed to have been started deliberately in the back garden of a home has prompted a police investigation.

Leicestershire Police said they were called by the fire service to a property on Berrisford Street, Coalville, at about 00:30 GMT on Sunday.

Officers said they think someone gained access by using the alleyway at the side of the property.

A black dustbin was set alight which then caused damage to the back door and windows, the force said, but no-one was injured.

Officers have urged anyone with information or video footage to come forward.
