POLICE offers called in the fire brigade after a rubbish bin was set alight in Eldene village centre.

Firefighters attended the blaze just after 10.30pm on Friday but the fire was already put out before their arrival.

The area has in the past been a trouble hot spot with gangs of youths intimidating residents.

In February the council installed CCTV in the village centre following a string of complaints from the local shop owners and several members of the public about the antisocial behaviour.
