Local paper, the Redditch Standard, reports on an arson attack started outside a mosque in Redditch last week, on Tuesday 24th January. |
From the Redditch Standard:
“Arsonists are believed to have started a fire outside a mosque in Redditch on Tuesday evening (January 24).
“Firefighters tackled a small fire at the front door of the building in Jinnah Road at about 10.20pm.
“No-one was injured and there was no major damage to the building.
“Police were also called and said they were treating the incident as arson.
“An investigation is now underway and officers said the exact circumstances surrounding the fire were not yet known.”
This is the second time police have been called in to investigate a suspected anti-Muslim hate crime involving a mosque in Redditch. Last year a new £2.5 million mosque was the target of acts of vandalism.
