Three allotment sheds have been destroyed in an arson attack.

The fires broke out early this morning in Eaton Road, Eaton, near Cumnor.

Firefighters from Oxford’s Rewley Road station were called to the scene at 12.25am.

Flames had engulfed the 6m-by-4m sheds.

A fire service spokesman said police officers had also attended the scene as the fires were “believed to be of a suspicious nature”.
