Arsonist strikes at Business Park

Mon, 11 Oct 2010

Police are investigating after a trailer was deliberately set on fire in the Isle of Man Business Park.

The fire was accelerated with petrol overnight on Friday.

Officers say the arsonist could have harmed themselves by using petrol, and that it is very fortunate that a nearby building and vehicle weren't also set alight.

The fire had died down when it was discovered on Saturday morning, but fire crews were called as a precaution.

Anyone with information on the arson is asked to contact Braddan Police Station.
