A BLACK plastic bag was set alight in the front garden of a home in Lamerton shortly after 9pm on Tuesday, March 31.

Although no damage was caused, other than some scorched grass, police would like to hear from anyone who has experienced similar issues in the area.

Sgt Dave Anning said: 'If someone in the village is quite literally playing with fire then it is important that they are identified before they do some serious damage.'

The police and Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service investigate fire incidents together.

Crime reference number CR/021897/15.
