‘We’re fuming’ – ‘deliberate’ van blaze at Eastbourne Tyre Company

This was the scene at Eastbourne Tyre Company last night after one of their MTS vans was ‘deliberately set on fire’ they say.

Writing on their Facebook page the firm has appealed to the public for information.

They say: “At 10:36pm on the 9th of September, one of our MTS vans was deliberately set on fire.

“This isn’t just a van. It’s one of the vehicles our team uses every day to attend customers, respond to breakdowns and keep people safely on the road.

“Someone has deliberately caused significant damage to our business, and we are absolutely fuming.

“We’ve put together the footage and photos we have of the incident and the aftermath.

Now we need your help.

“If you were in the area overnight and saw anything suspicious, saw anyone hanging around, or have CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage, please check it.

“Even something that seems insignificant could help identify who was responsible.

“If you have any information, please contact the police or get in touch with us directly.

“We want whoever did this found and held accountable.”

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service has been approached for more information.
