They then gather around the object and appear to kick it, sending sparks flying.

One of them then appears to kick or throw the object towards the rear of the store, setting alight pallets and packaging stacked there, before all four run off.

The culprits' faces cannot be seen but they appear to be boys or young men.

Firefighters spent around 90 minutes tackling the blaze.

Anyone with information is asked to call South Yorkshire Police on 101.
