Arsonists hit schools

ARSONISTS struck at two Seaford schools on Wednesday evening.

Firefighters sped to Seaford Head Community College and Annecy RC Primary School when fires broke out within minutes of each other.

At Annecy, firebugs set light to storage sheds and flames spread to the main hall, damaging windows and curtains.

Sub officer Cliff Barron-Carter said: 'This was a deliberate fire, it was no accident.'

At the same time a second fire engine went to Seaford Head lower school where a fire had been started in rubbish bins and spread to the main buildings.

Mr Barron Carter said: 'The school boiler room was quite seriously damaged and there was minor damage to the kitchen.'

Both fires were put out by 9.30pm. Police found no trace of the culprits.
