Traveller caravans destroyed in fire - Harborough

TWO caravans at a Travellers’ site near Lutterworth were completely destroyed when they were deliberately set alight.

Fire crews from Lutterworth were called to the scene, at the site off Lutterworth Road near Ullesthorpe, at 4pm last Thursday.
Firefighters used one hose reel and breathing apparatus to put out the blaze, which had engulfed and almost completely destroyed two adjacent caravans.
They spent some time at the scene using drag forks and damping down.
A spokesman for Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire had been started with an accelerant.
Nobody was injured in the incident.
