Police Investigate 'Deliberate' Slinford Barn Fire Where Livestock Died

What police say is a 'deliberate' arson at a farm in Slinfold is being investigated by police.

Officers were called to the fire - in which livestock died - at Ranfold Oak Farm last Thursday (10) shortly after 9.30pm.

One person was taken to hospital after suffering from smoke inhalation, according to police.

The barn was destroyed and two calves which were being reared, as well as a large number of turkeys, were lost in the fire. 

Farm machinery was also destroyed or badly damaged and another outbuilding.

Investigator Sarah Tolley said:

 "This was a large fire and it would have been visible for some distance. Anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have seen someone acting suspiciously is asked to contact us online or ring 101 quoting serial 1397 of 10/12."

Anyone who saw anything must call police on 101.
