Police are appealing for witnesses after a group of youths reportedly set fire to an empty new build house in Kenilworth.

Kenilworth Watch said "a group of unknown youths" climbed over the fence around some of the new build homes on Glasshouse Lane at around 6pm on Thursday 17 April.

One of the buildings - which was empty - reportedly has several of its windows smashed and the building was then set on fire.

"If you saw or witnessed anything you believe may be related to this incident or have any information about the incident, then please contact Warwickshire Police on 101 or alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111," a statement said.
