Electricity pole arson attack
POLICE are looking for arsonists that started a blaze in Fair Oak.
Witnesses say they saw two youths start the fire in a tree in Witt Road, which then spread to an electricity pole.
Eastleigh fire crews found the wire on the electricity pole had come loose and was bouncing around in the road and on nearby cars.
Firefighters cordoned off the area until the electricity board could attend.
It is understood the fire, which started around 10.35pm on Tuesday caused a power cut to street lights in the area.
