Royal Mail vans set alight in Shropshire arson attack
Two Royal Mail vans were set alight in an arson attack outside a former police station in Shropshire.
The flames spread from wheelie bins deliberately set on fire in Station Road, Albrighton.
The blaze left one post van with 60 per cent damage and another with 10 per cent.
The flames spread after 10.30pm yesterday and took two fire crews an hour to bring under control.
The old police station window was damaged in by the blaze and smoke filled the ground floor.
Two fire engines from Albrighton went to the scene where crews discovered a large wheelie bin fire which had spread to two vans.
Fire fighters used breathing apparatus and two hose reel jets used to put out the flames by 11.30pm.
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said the cause was deliberate ignition and was being treated as arson.
