Police investigating a suspected arson attack at a house are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Officers were called to the four-bedroom property in Melton Road, Stanton-on-the-Wolds.
It was reported someone had entered the house and a fire had been started within the property. Extensive damage was caused to the guttering and cladding at the rear of the address.
Fortunately, the fire burned out and no injuries were reported.
At this time, it’s believed the fire was started deliberately between Saturday 29 June and 5.01pm on Monday (1 July 2024), which is when the incident was reported to police.
Detective Sergeant Katie Hurrell, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The owner of this property has been very shocked by this incident and cannot understand why it has happened.
“We are progressing with our inquiries to establish the full circumstances and to identify and subsequently apprehend those responsible.
“To assist us further we would like to hear from any witnesses who have not already spoken to us. This incident happened on a busy main road so we’re urging drivers to check their dash cams for any recorded footage that may help with our ongoing inquiries.
“Similarly, if anyone passing by at around this time noticed anything at all out of place then we want to hear from them. Even the smallest bit of information could make all the difference to this investigation.”
Anyone with information is urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 607 of 1 July 2024, or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
