Woman arrested for arson after flat fire
A woman has been arrested on suspicion of arson after a fire at a flat. Emergency services attended the blaze at a property on Church Walk, in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, in the early hours of Friday. Nottinghamshire Police said the area was made safe by firefighters and a 23-year-old woman was detained at the scene, adding nobody was hurt. The force said it was an "isolated incident" and it has not been linked to any other fires in the town. Insp Robert Harrison 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. "With six previous arrests after a series of arson incidents in May, we will continue to clampdown on those involved in such incidents." Last month, the town saw a spate of fires, which prompted police to say they believed two groups of people were "putting lives at risk". Follow BBC Nottingham on Facebook, on X, or on Instagram.
