Police have released an appeal for help with their investigation into an arson attack at a property in Calne.
Calne Fire Crew were called to reports of a fire in a bin storarge building in Kingsfisher Court, Calne on the 24th November just before 5.30pm.
It is believed the fire was started deliberately and police have since conducted house to house enquiries. This incident has not been ruled out as being connected to an earlier act of vandalism where white paint was thrown onto the ground in a communal entrance to Kingfisher Court.
PCSO Mark Cook said: “Wiltshire Fire officers attended the location at the time this was reported and extinguished the fire.
"Fire officers advised us they believed persons have deliberately set this fire which has then ingulfed this small structure.
"Thankfully the fire did not spread to nearby vehicles or residential properties. The damaged caused to the building has been valued in excess of £5,000.
"We also received a report of criminal damage on 14/11/2023 at approximately 17:00hrs where white paint has been thrown into a communal entrance of Kingfisher Court causing extensive damage. Two youths in dark clothing were seen running away from the location at the time this happened.
"If you have any information on the fire or the damaged caused by the white paint please do contact me.”
If you have any information, CCTV or doorbell footage which may assist us with our enquiries in relation to this matters, please contact PCSO Mark Cook on
