A woman has been arrested on suspicion of arson following a flat fire in Worksop.

A 23 year old is being questioned following a blaze on Church Walk yesterday morning.

Police say the area was quickly made safe and they believe it to be an isolated incident.

Inspector Robert Harrison, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We understand that this incident may cause concern for the Worksop community, but we want to reassure you all that this is being treated as an isolated incident and we’re not linking this to recent occurrences at this stage.

“Thankfully this fire was contained and no injuries were sustained, but there is always the potential for any fire to spiral out of control.

“With six previous arrests after a series of arson incidents in May, we will continue to clamp down on those involved in such incidents.”
