Neds start fire in school
POLICE are hunting for neds who torched a petrol can in a Port Glasgow school.
The tin was taken from a cycle shed and set alight in St Stephen’s High, while pupils were in the building.
The janitor called the fire brigade and used a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze, which happened at lunchtime on Friday.
Sergeant Andy Wilkinson, from Greenock police, said: “We are treating the case as wilful fire-raising.”
A spokesperson for Inverclyde Council said: “An incident took place at St Stephen’s on Friday afternoon where a fire was discovered within the external school grounds.
“The janitor dealt with the fire quickly and Strathclyde Fire and Rescue attended the scene. We are liaising with police as they progress their investigation into the incident.”
If anyone has information they should contact Greenock police on 492500 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.http://www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/article.php?sec=features&id=16044
