“There is already an increased police presence at the scene and there are also additional patrols taking place to provide reassurance at other places of worship across the county.”
A volunteer at the mosque, who asked not to be named, told the BBC that two people tried to enter through the front door, only to find it locked.
They then poured a liquid at the entrance and near a car parked outside, which was set alight, the volunteer said.
“It could have been murder,” the man said, adding that two people inside the mosque managed to escape.
