Police Investigate Suspicious Fires At Tenambit And Morpeth

BY IAN CROUCH

Firefighters have been kept busy early Thursday morning with two suspicious fires at Tenambit and Morpeth.

Crews were called to a disused church on Collinson Street just before 3.30am to find a caravan parked next to the timber building well alight.

The caravan has been destroyed and the church sustained superficial damage.

Then, just after 4.30am, crews were called to an industrial bin fire about a block away in Kenneth Street behind the Morpeth Pie Shop.

It's taken about 20 minutes to extinguish - the fire was contained to the bin.

Police are investigating both fires.
