FIREFIGHTERS spent about an hour putting out minor fires started by arsonists in Kidderminster.

They were called out to a bin fire on the Bromsgrove Street car park on Sunday evening before being directed to another one on Birmingham Road near St George's Church.

They then had to deal with a postbox which had been set alight, apparently by the same culprits, further up the road.

"We were chasing somebody around the town putting fires out," a spokesman said.

"Two youths with a pushbike had been spotted acting suspiciously and we reported it to the police."
