Arson suspected in Newquay bus depot fire

Devon and Cornwall Police believe the major fire at Western Greyhound's bus depot in Newquay may have been started deliberately.

A third of the company's fleet of buses were destroyed by the fire, though no one was injured in the blaze and the company's offices and workshop were undamaged.

Two brand new vehicles which cost more than £100,000 each and four of Truro's six park-and-ride buses were lost in the fire.

Officers are appealing for anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area either in the late evening of Sunday 12 May or the early hours of Monday 13 May to contact them on 101, quoting reference GC/13/151.
