A FAMILY with a baby had to flee their home after an arsonist torched two sheds. 

Shortly before 4am on Wednesday (25 March) the family of four were woken by a neighbour who alerted them to a fire in the garden of their home in Decoy Drive, Angerming. 

The fire destroyed two sheds and damaged two mopeds that had been stored alongside. Firefighters put out the flames, which did not spread to the home.

Sergeant Ian Cheesman said: "We believe the fire was started deliberately so need to speak to anyone who saw or heard anyone acting suspiciously in Decoy Drive late on Tuesday night or early on Wednesday morning.

"This has been a very upsetting incident for the family, especially as they have two young children.
