FIREBUGS started a blaze in the cab of a flat back wagon parked outside arson-hit industrial units last night.
Firefighters were called out to the mill complex, which is divided into a number of small units, off Watersmeetings Road after a 999 call.
An engineering firm in the mill - on the site of the planned massive leisure development and multi-screen Warner cinema - was recently forced to move by a blaze which destroyed its factory.
Remaining tenants told the BEN that arson attacks over the last two years had driven a number of small businesses out of the unit and were damaging the business of the remainder.
