A MULTI-STOREY car park in Abingdon was targeted in an arson attack yesterday.

A small fire was started in a stairwell in the Charter car park off Stert Street in the town at about 2pm.

Police said they believed white spirit was poured on to the floor and set alight.

Fire crews attended the incident and although there was no structural damage caused to the car park there was a high volume of smoke which caused damage to the walls.

Thames Valley Police wants to speak to anyone who was in Stert Street at the time.
