An investigation is underway after a large green bin was set on fire outside Llansantffraid Primary School.
The bin was left to burn overnight under the eaves of the school building, but luckily did not cause any damage.
“The bin was found at around 6.15am by the school caretaker,” said Sergeant Darren Brown. “I’d appeal for anyone who saw anything suspicious around the school on this evening to please contact police at Welshpool on 101.”
