Police are appealing for witnesses after an arson attack at allotments in Sherwood.
Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue were called to the scene of the fire at Woodthorpe Allotments (off Winchester Street) just after 11pm on Thursday (July 20) .
Two sheds were destroyed during the blaze and another was left damaged. Other sheds were broken into and property was stolen.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: “This fire was deliberate. The motive for setting fire to the sheds is not known at this time but the potential for the situation to have gotten seriously out of control was there as the sheds are very close to large trees and shrubbery, which fortunately didn’t set alight.
“If you were in the area of Winchester Street/Woodthorpe Park or Cavendish Vale last night and you witnessed anything suspicious or you have any information regarding who may be responsible.”
