Witness appeal after arson in Basingstoke

We are appealing for witnesses after a car was set alight in Basingstoke.

We were called at 3.44am yesterday, 19 May, by our colleagues in the fire service to reports of a Vauxhall Astra on fire on Quilter Road. The cause of the fire is being treated as suspicious.

Damage was also caused to an Audi that was parked close by.

Officers have conducted a number of enquiries and are now turning to the public for any information that could assist in their investigation.

Were you in the area at the time? Perhaps you saw or heard something suspicious?

Anyone with information is asked to phone 101 with reference 44210192944. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers 100% anonymously on 0800 555 111.
