DETECTIVES have renewed their appeal for information about a fire that started in a block of flats in Hereford .

It is believed a burgundy coloured V-reg Ford Ka was parked at or near The Newlands flats in Old School Lane just before midnight on Tuesday at the time of the alleged offence.

A 23-year-old woman was arrested and appeared before Hereford Magistrates yesterday.

The court granted police a further 36 hours to question her and to continue with their enquiries.

Anyone with any information should contact Det Sgt Tim Powell on 0300 333 3000.
