Police are treating the fire that started in Gippeswyk Park in Ipswich at the weekend as a suspected arson.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service was called out to Ancaster Road near the park shortly after 1.30am on Sunday.

One engine from Princes Street station in Ipswich was dispatched to the scene.

The blaze was discovered in grass at the roadside, with a stop called a short while later at 1.53am.

However, police are not linking the Gippeswyk Park fire to any other incidents.
