Police hunt arsonists in £1m blaze
POLICE are hunting firebugs who sparked a blaze which ripped through a Leyland business in the early hours of Sunday morning causing £1m of damage.
The fire was started in two skips in a garage building at Premier Pharmaceuticals on Marathon Place, in Leyland.
Once ignited the flames quickly took hold and spread to the main building.
Fire crews from Leyland, Bamber Bridge, Chorley, Penwortham, Fulwood and Tarleton attended the scene at 1.07am on Sunday, and battled with the raging fire for more than four hours. Nearby residents were told to stay indoors with their windows and doors closed, as there were fears that propane tanks on the site could explode.
