The suspect was later found dead after petrol bombs were thrown at the centre. Kent Police executed a warrant at the suspect’s property in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire today. Police said “two to three incendiary devices” were set off at the center by “a single suspect who arrived at the scene in a car.” Emergency crews were called to the scene in Kent shortly after 11.20am on Sunday after Reuters news agency – which had a photographer at the scene – reported that a man threw petrol bombs attached to fireworks at the centre. The photographer captured the moment the man threw the improvised bomb from the car window. The man was seen with a lighter in hand as he threw the container towards the centre. The agency reported that the man committed suicide after the incident. A witness named Brian Wood told Sky News he was about 200 meters away from the migrant center and heard “three bangs” and saw smoke. He added: “Then I heard the alarms going off and people shouting and shouting.” Image: Members of the Army and the British Border Force put out a petrol bomb fire Kent Police said “two to three incendiary devices” were set off at the center by “a single suspect who arrived at the scene in a car”, leaving two people with minor injuries. Officers then found another device in the suspect’s vehicle, which was later confirmed to be safe. It comes as almost 1,000 migrants arrived in the UK on Saturday, making the treacherous journey across the world’s busiest shipping lane and landing in Dover. Long queues of people – believed to be migrants – could be seen waiting to be processed at the Border Force compound in Dover, Kent, as 990 arrived on British shores. Almost 40,000 have arrived in the UK so far this year after attempting the treacherous journey from France. Earlier, Tory backbencher Sir Roger Gale told Sky News that overcrowding at the Manston immigration facility in Kent – where cases of MRSA and diphtheria have been reported – was “totally unacceptable”.
