A CHARITY shop in Worthing was damaged after bins were set on fire at the back of the store in the early hours of Wednesday morning (September 5).
The fire service was called to Chapel Road at about 3am following a report of a blaze behind Scope. As a result of the flames, damage was caused to the back door of the charity shop.
Electric cables, guttering and lights were also melted at neighbouring premises.
A police spokesperson said: “Scope was unable to open its shop the next day as a result of the fire, causing a loss to charity funds.
