Arsonists destroy 30 beach huts

A shocking story on this National Shed Week.

DEVASTATED beach hut owners in Frinton are assessing the wreckage after arsonists destroyed more than 30 huts and left many more damaged.

The fires were started in the early hours of yesterday morning – and further damage was only avoided after a milkman spotted the flames while on his rounds at 4.20am.
One lucky owner was John Bruce, whose hut escaped damage because of the direction of the wind.

His hut, which he has owned for seven years, sits next to a row of eight which were reduced to ashes.

    I have a couple of articles on beach hut security at http://www.msbnews.co.uk see the latest news section at the bottom and also click on the latest news section at the top for the archived article…I hope it/they help.

    One article was written by a local police officer.
