A man arrested last week on suspicion of the arson of the Bathampton mast fire in 2013 has been released with no further action taken against him.

The man had been arrested on Friday 25th July as part of an investigation into the fire at the mast in January 2013.

He was interviewed about the incident and subsequently released.

The investigation continues this week and police are continuing to appeal to the community to come forward if they have information about the fire or anyone they believe to be involved.

The fire caused damage worth several hundred thousand pounds and affected TV, radio and mobile phone signals to thousands of homes and businesses on January 3rd, 2013.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Bevan, from the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “The scale of the damage and the disruption to our communities means this is clearly an offence we are taking extremely seriously.

“Over the past 18 months we’ve been conducting a detailed investigation which has at times been painstaking work as we methodically worked through the evidence.”
