Firefighters from two Coventry fire stations - Binley and Foleshill - attended the blazes, the first call-out was at around 3.30am and the second at around 5.45am.

A spokesman for Binley fire station said: “There were a couple of fires at the David Lloyd leisure centre early on Friday.

“They were small fires to doors but it appears someone had set fire to them.

“We were called out at around 3.30am and were the second appliance there.

“A door had been set fire to - and bushes - and then again at around 5.45am.

“The same place but a different door and a different location.
