A golf academy in Sedgley has appealed for information after a van fire damaged its range.
The Mark Butler Golf Academy, on Sandyfields Road in Sedgley, have shared images of the blaze van which caught fire last night (May 25).
They say residents spotted a man on the range moments before the blaze. Now, they are appealing to find him.
A spokesperson for the golf academy said: “Unfortunately this is the news we never want to post. Tonight, someone set fire to the van on our range.
“A local resident reported seeing a man on the range around the time it happened.
“Please help us identify this person. Not only has this caused damage to the range, it has also wasted valuable fire brigade time.
“A massive thank you to the fire crews for responding so quickly and getting everything under control, we really appreciate it.”
A West Midlands Fire Service spokesperson said: “Shortly before 10.40pm on Monday 25 May, we responded to Sandyfields Road, Sedgley.
“A fire engine from Dudley and a 4x4 brigade response vehicle from Wolverhampton attended, arriving to find a derelict van on fire at a golf driving range.
“Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the fire, which is believed to have been started deliberately. We left this incident at 11.43pm.”
