FIREFIGHTERS were called to a Wheelock Street flat early on Friday morning, after refuse was deliberately set on fire.

One engine from Middlewich was called just before 1am on Friday, June 24, and arrived to find the fire already out.

Crews damped down the area before leaving.

Anyone with information about who may have started this fire should contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or Cheshire Police on 101.
