Farm Arsons

We’re investigating a series of deliberate hay bale fires on farms in the Quainton, Edgcott, Calvert, and Marsh Gibbon area. Disturbingly, those responsible have also tampered with water supplies, making it harder to extinguish the flames. They also opened gates allowing livestock  to escape.

👮 Officers from Thames Valley Police, alongside our colleagues at Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue, responded to these incidents. These reckless acts not only endanger property and livestock—they put lives at risk and the damage caused comes at a significant cost.
