Police have issued a warning after a spate of arson attacks in a Derbyshire village.
There have been three attacks in Whitwell over the past month, including one on a house.
A large recycling bin was set alight outside the Whitwell Square Health Centre in the early hours of Tuesday.
On 5 July, a property on Welbeck Street was set on fire while the elderly resident slept upstairs. The woman escaped uninjured.
