A TWENTY-year-old man from Holsworthy is helping police in Barnstaple with their enquiries following two fires in the Holsworthy area that are believed to have been started deliberately.

The first fire was reported at 7.50pm on Wednesday, March 20 in Quarry park, Chilswor­thy. A shed near to a property was destroyed by fire, and spread to an unoccupied house. There were no casualties.

The second was a deliberate fire involving a caravan, two cars, and five flats and took place at Station Road, off Chapel Street, Hols­worthy, last Thursday (March 21).
