"Arson can have devastating consequences, particularly in rural areas where fires can spread quickly and pose a serious risk to people, property, livestock and the wider environment.
“We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity, vehicles or individuals in the areas affected, or who may have relevant footage from dashcams, CCTV or doorbell cameras.”
