Arsonists left a trial of fires across a retail park.
Firefighters dealt with three blazes in bins at Rustington Retail Park in New Road, Rustington, last night.
They tackled the first fire, in a large wheelie bin outside Halfords, at about 6.45pm.
As they were about to leave, another blaze was reported in a bin outside Focus DIY.
The fire crews decided to start dousing all the bins in the area with water to stop more fires being started.
But at 7.30pm they were called to yet another fire at the nearby Sainsbury’s store, which caused some damage to the front doors.
Anyone with information about the arsons is asked to call Sussex Police on 0845 6070999.
