DAMAGE amounting to £250 was caused in an arson attack on a garden shed and fence at a property in Stourport.

Police are seeking witnesses to the incident, between 2am and 3.20am on Monday, June 12, at Bigbury Lane.

PC Dianne Goodman said: "The fire appears to have originated in woods near houses in Bigbury Lane. It spread and then caused damage to the fence and shed.

"The proximity of the fire to the houses meant this could have been very serious."
