Police have condemned as cowardly and disgraceful a petrol bomb attack on an Islamic centre in Bletchley.

It happened at 11.30 on Thursday night when a bottle full of flammable liquid was set alight and thrown onto the roof of the Granby Mosque on Peverell Drive.

Members of the mosque quickly extinguished the fire and prevented any significant damage. Police have praised their actions and are appealing for help to find the attackers.
