Attempted arson attack at Rampton Motors: At approx. 1 a.m. (Monday 28 July) a local resident was awakened by a noise coming from RAMPTON MOTORS garage . The person saw a man with a can of petrol sprinkling a blanket at the bottom of the side garage door. The man then set it alight. Fortunately it was a metal door and no great damage done. Two Police cars and a Fire Engine attended the incident. The man is described as 20-25 years. No car was heard so he either approached on foot or by bicycle, or had avehicle parked nearby.
Any information whatsoever regarding this incident would be much appreciated by the Police on 0845 456 456 4 This event happened just a few hours after separate incidents when the Church Notice Board Glass was smashed, and two young people were known to have been taking milk bottles from local houses. One bottle was deliberately smashed and left in the road.If you have information regarding either of these events, please contact the Police. Please help to keep Rampton crime free by reporting anything you know about either event.
