Officers in Croydon (Metropolitan Police) are investigating incidents this week in which one or more person set light to people sleeping rough.

Detectives believe others may have been targeted and are appealing for any further victims and any witnesses to come forward.

There were two such incidents reported in the area of George Street and Surrey Street in the early hours of Monday, 10 June.

The London Ambulance Service treated two men for minor burns. Sleeping bags or other property was set alight.

At around 05:00hrs on Wednesday, 12 June, a man and a female were stopped by police on George Street in Croydon and arrested.

A 22-year-old man was later charged and is due to appear in court on Thursday, 13 June.

The 17-year-old girl was bailed until a date in July pending further enquiries.

Anyone with information concerning this incident is requested to call police on 101 quoting reference 1018/10 June or Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
