Swadlincote Police say they have 'positive leads' after another case of arson at The Woodlands.

On Friday, we reported that the Police and Swadlincote Fire Station had joined forces after four fires in the area in one week.

Four arson attacks in a week brings angry response from emergency services.

Now, the fifth blaze to break out appears to have given police a hint as to who is responsible.

They have posted a photo of what appears to be an empty petrol can on the Safer Neighbourhood Team Facebook page.

The SNT have posted: "SNT officers attended another fire at The Woodlands today (Saturday) along with officers from Derbyshire Fire Service.

"This time we have some positive leads on the culprits."
