VANDALS started a fire at Harrow Leisure Centre on Monday evening last week. They broke into changing rooms at the centre in Christchurch Avenue, Wealdstone, and set light to a wooden bench.
Staff were alerted at 9pm when smoke triggered an alarm and fire crews put the fire out before any serious damage was caused.
A spokesman for Harrow police said: "We are very keen to speak to witnesses. Although this fire was contained, it could have had very serious consequences had it not been detected when it was." Witnesses are asked to call 020 8733 3441.
