The caravan, which belongs to a local resident, was parked in a layby in Jevington Close, Durrington, before it was set alight some time between 12.30am and 12.45am.

PC Dave Slade said; “This had the potential for even more serious consequences if anyone had been sleeping inside at the time.

“The caravan was totally destroyed in only a short space of time, with gas canisters inside and outside also having the potential to cause further damage to both the caravan and nearby properties.

“Thankfully the canisters were unaffected.
