Vehicles Destroyed In Suspected Arson Incidents In East Cowes

Two vehicles have been destroyed and another badly damaged in East Cowes, in what’s thought to be suspected arson attacks.

Firefighters and police were called to incidents - just minutes apart - late last night (Saturday) and the early hours of this morning (Sunday).

The first call was at 11.43pm to a white van - with Isle of Wight Distribution branding on - on fire on Victoria Grove. 

Around 30 minutes later, firefighters attended Kent Avenue, where a motorhome was well alight. Crews worked to put out the blaze.

Both fires happened shortly after midnight.

The vehicles - including a car - have been severely damaged.

Police have confirmed it is exploring the possible link to other vehicle fires in the town in December.
