‘We’re devastated’

Police say there were two incidents of suspected arson at the Little Lambs Nursery on Corringham Road, Gainsborough over the weekend.

Owner John Ramm branded the attackers ‘cowards’ - saying that it was ‘just mindless vandalism’.

The first incident was discovered at 11.45pm on the Friday 9th December when police attended after the alarm was set off, when they found evidence of an arson attempt.

Police were alerted to the second incident at 9.37pm on Sunday 11th December when fire crews received reports of black smoke coming from the nursery.

The kitchen was severely damaged by fire while the rest of the building has been ravaged by smoke and heat damage - with everything caked black.

Owner John Ramm said: “When we first saw the damage, we were gutted. This is absolutely devastating.”
