Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for information after a motorhome was destroyed by fire in Wollens Close, Glastonbury, at around 2.30am on Sunday, 21 June.

A separate vehicle parked nearby was also damaged.

A police spokesperson said: "We were called to a fire involving a motorhome in Wollens Close, Glastonbury, at around 2.30am on Sunday 21 June.

"The vehicle was destroyed by fire, and a separate vehicle parked nearby was also damaged. A man, described as white, of slim build, wearing a cap, a dark jacket and light trousers and carrying a backpack, was also reported to have been in the area shortly before the incident."

Fire crews from Glastonbury and Street were called after Fire Control received multiple reports of a campervan on fire. Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service previously said crews found one vehicle well alight, with smoke and flames issuing from it.

Firefighters used hose reel jets, a compressed air foam attack jet, a thermal imaging camera and foam concentrate to bring the fire under control. The fire service said the vehicle and its contents were around 60% damaged by fire, and the cause was believed to be deliberate.

The Wollens Close fire happened just over a week after a separate blaze in Beckery New Road, Glastonbury, on Saturday, 13 June, in which three caravans and a neighbouring building were damaged. Police have confirmed the latest incident is not connected to that earlier fire near Tesco.
