ARSONISTS torched an empty house in March on Saturday.

Two crews from March and one from Chatteris were called to the fire at an unoccupied home in Cherryholt Avenue at 11.10pm.

Firefighters arrived and discovered smoke coming from the property before forcing entry into the home. They discovered a fire in the conservatory which they extinguished using one hose reel.

The rest of the house was heavily smoke damaged and crews returned to their stations by 12.50am.

Police are thought to have assisted with fire investigations on Sunday morning.
