Police have arrested two people after a petrol bomb attack on a mosque in Grimsby.

The Grimsby Islamic Cultural Centre was targeted by arsonists on Sunday, despite an increased police presence in the area following another attack on the complex three days ago.

A number of people were inside the building as a prayer meeting was taking place at the time.

Humberside Police said nobody was injured in the attack.

The force said the fire was discovered by officers who were patrolling the area following the attack on Thursday.

Eleven teenagers were arrested after that incident which is said to have happened after a party spiralled out of control.

Humberside Police said it was too early to speculate on the reason for the attack on Sunday.

A police spokeswoman said: "The force is currently aware of a number of messages which have been posted on social networking sites by a small minority of individuals.

"These messages appear to be an attempt to incite trouble by posting messages inviting people to assemble and cause trouble at particular locations.

"Those people should be aware that we are monitoring these sites in Humberside and we will take action against those intent on attempting to incite violence or post messages of a racial nature."
