Police probe suspected arson after fire at Totnes college site

Police are continuing to investigate a suspicious fire in Totnes and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Officers were called at 12.50am on Sunday 12 April by the fire service who were tackling a fire in a temporary classroom on playing fields at the King Edward VI College on Ashburton Road.

Damage was also caused to a cargo container nearby.

No injuries were reported.

Sector Inspector Ben Shardlow said: “We believe this fire was set deliberately and we are aware of footage of the incident being published on social media.

“It is likely that anyone who was present would have smelled of smoke.

“If anyone saw or heard anything suspicious or has any information, we ask they get in contact with us via the Force website or by telephone on 101, quoting crime reference 50260090917.

“Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online at Crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling freephone 0800 555111.”
