Do you know where your children are? That's the message from North Yorkshire Police.
Police and Fire Crews were alerted to a report of youths starting two fires on the Capella building site in Eastfield at 7.45pm on Saturday.
Officers added:
'We are all aware of how stretched our Fire and Rescue Service currently is due to the ongoing moorland fire so calls like this to deal with issues of deliberate fires being set are very frustrating. Not only is there serious risk of harm to the young people involved, but there is also unnecessary demand being put on our services and the risk that such fires get out of control in residential areas, putting many at risk.
'The Capella site is very difficult to access out of hours which poses significant problems for emergency services if somebody is injured or trapped. Please speak to your young people about the risks of starting fires and also accessing building sites which are inevitably locked for a reason.'
If you have any information about who may be involved in setting the fires, you can contact Police via our website Home | North Yorkshire Police or by calling 101. If you would prefer to remain anonymous Giving information anonymously | Crimestoppers is an independent body where your anonymity is 100% guaranteed.
