A SUSPECTED arson attack left a school's offices gutted after a fire smouldered through the night before being found by the cleaner in the morning.
Police said they were treating the second school fire in a week as suspicious but do not know how the blaze at Billinge High School, Blackburn, started. It is believed raiders entered through a window next to one smashed during another break-in at the same office.
