Appeal: arson at caravan park, Skegness

We are investigating an arson following the deliberate ignition of a caravan at Southview Holiday Park in Burgh Road, Skegness.

A 13-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of arson, and has been released on bail.

We were called to reports of the blaze at 8.09pm on Friday 27 May. Fire investigators have confirmed this as arson, and officers from our Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and forensic staff are carrying out several lines of enquiry.

As a result of the fire, two caravans have suffered total damage and three more have extensive damage. It is believe the caravans in question were unused and there were no casualties as a result of the fire.

We are now appealing for witnesses who may have captured footage not yet viewed, or may have information about the incident to come forward.
