POLICE say "youths" have been setting fires and causing damage at a disused former school site.
Officers in Blaenau Gwent have released a description of one young person they said was "setting fires on [the] old Nantyglo school site" on Monday evening.
Nantyglo Comprehensive School, in Pond Road, was shut down a decade ago.
Police said the person setting the fires was "with a large group of other youths and stealing trollies from Asda".
"Do you know where your child is tonight?" the officers asked on social media.

They said: "Youths have left this on [the] old Nantyglo school site, setting fires. Know where your kids are tonight? Stolen trollies and setting fires tonight."
