Burglar may have lit fire to cover tracks
A BURGLAR is thought to have set fire
to a bedroom in order to cover his
tracks after entering a Winchester
home.
Firefighters were called to West Hill
Park, Fulflood, Winchester, at about
7.40pm on Tuesday when the family
returned.
Watch manager Chris Roper, of
Winchester fire station, said: "The fire
service's arson task force dog team
was called in to investigate.
"There was deliberate ignition of the
bedding by a naked light.
"The family was out at the time and
came home to find the fire. The bedroom
was completely destroyed. It was
probably started some time in the
afternoon."
The family is believed to have lost a
quantity of money and gold in the raid.
