Vehicles, homes, sheds and rubbish have all been set alight with one victim calling on residents to 'stand up against evil' as attacks continue

He and others at the meeting said they blamed a small number of individual youths for the fires, although police have said they believe it is more complex, with revenge attacks being carried out.The fire-damaged castle at The Venture in Caia Park, Wrexham

Stolen cars were also being driven onto the estate and burned out.

Caia Park Community Council chairman, Marc Jones, who was at the meeting, said: “I have been assured there is positive action being taken against the families who youths who have been identified as being responsible for anti-social behaviour.”

Last month police chiefs asked parents if they knew where their children were at night, as local councillor Keith Gregory expressed fears somebody may be killed if the attacks continue.

A North Wales Police spokesman has said: “We are working together with the fire service and asking for the community to be more vigilant and be prepared to give information that will help the police catch those responsible.”
