Ah, the tender innocence of youth, glowing like a dumpster fire on a Sunday morning in Grimsby. It seems two enterprising youngsters, barely out of their diapers at the ages of 14 and 15, decided to spice up their weekend with a bit of arson drama outside the Bradley Inn pub. Because what else could possibly make a Sunday more exciting than setting fire to some wheelie bins, right?
In a scene straight out of a teen angst movie, emergency services were summoned to the Laceby Road haunt in the ungodly hours of the morning, responding to reports of flaming bins out back. Fortunately, the only thing they scorched was the pub’s reputation for being a quiet watering hole.
But hold onto your pints, folks, because the plot thickens. Our dynamic duo didn’t just stop at setting bins ablaze; oh no, they had to kick it up a notch. The 15-year-old, evidently the brains of the operation, also dabbled in a bit of vehicle interference for good measure. Because why settle for petty arson when you can sprinkle in a dash of grand theft auto, right?
Now, don’t you worry your pretty little heads, because Detective Sergeant Ian Potter, our knight in shining polyester, assures us that they’re treating this escapade as a top priority. With the urgency of a cat stuck up a tree, they’ve arrested the teenage firestarters and released them on bail, because clearly, setting things on fire is just a phase, right?
But fear not, dear citizens, for Detective Potter is on the case, diligently following his “lines of enquiry.” So if you happen to have witnessed these budding pyromaniacs in action, do the right thing and ring up the police on their non-emergency hotline. Or if you’re feeling particularly anonymous, you can always drop a dime to Crimestoppers.
Ah, the joys of youth. Who needs video games and TikTok challenges when you can play with fire and law enforcement instead? Grimsby, always keeping it classy.
