Teen arrested after fires in Hayle

Police have arrested a female teenager in connection with a spate of bin fires in Hayle on Tuesday night.

Police officers were called to the scene at 3.50am by the fire service who were attending a number of bin fires near to The Cornubia Inn in Copperhouse.

Inspector Jean Philips said: “We have arrested an 18-year-old female who is in custody at the moment. It is reassuring that someone is in custody but it is too early to say anything else.”

One appliance from Camborne fire station was called to Fore Street, where the crew found two wheelie bins alight, which were extinguished using a high pressure hose reel jet.
