Surrey Police say they have been made aware of four reports of arson in Bookham over the weekend in which three bins and one car were set alight.
Surrey Police and Surrey Fire and Rescue Service attended each incident, and all four fires were safely extinguished and no-one was injured.
Borough Commander Inspector James Green said: “Our officers have been hard at work in Bookham over the past few days, conducting house to house enquiries, gathering CCTV footage and obtaining witness statements that will help us identify the persons responsible for these fires.
“I am aware of the concern these reports will cause and would like to reassure the community that we are taking this matter very seriously and will take robust action against those found responsible. If you have any information, no matter how small, I urge you to get in touch with us.”
Police want to speak with anyone with information that can support the investigation to help identify those responsible.
They say they are particularly keen to speak with a group of three teenagers aged between 16 and 17 who were seen nearby.
If you were in the area around Sole Farm Avenue, Post House Lane, East Street, and Leatherhead Road between 11pm and midnight on Saturday, or if you have any dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage that could assist us, please contact police on 101 quoting reference number PR/45250034223.
