Police are appealing for witnesses after an allotment was hit by an arson attack.
A shed was burnt to the ground and significant damage caused to a second shed nearby, at the allotment off Exeter Road in Rockwell Green.
The outbuilding was set on fire overnight, on Thursday, April 25.
Wellington's Neighbourhood Policing Sgt, Kat Forrest, said: “The allotment community take great pride and considerable time and effort in maintaining their plots and it is a shame that someone’s property has been damaged like this.

“As an allotment enthusiast myself, I know how devastated I would be.
“I would like to encourage the community to remain vigilant and consider removing any flammables to reduce the risk of fire.”
The police have appealed for anyone who has information about the fire to call 101 and quote the reference number 5223098208.
