We are appealing for witnesses and information following reports of a suspected arson incident at a school in Basingstoke.

Officers were called to a report that a building at Chiltern Way Academy on Pack Lane had been set on fire at some time between 8pm and midnight on Saturday 19 April.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the fire. A building, which is not attached to the main school building, was damaged as a result of the incident. No one was injured.  

Since this was reported to us, officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries and would like to appeal for witnesses.

Did you witness any suspicious activity in the area? Do you have any dashcam, doorbell or CCTV images that could help our investigation?

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101, quoting the reference number 44250171198.

Alternatively, go online and submit information via https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
