POLICE are investigating after a caravan was destroyed by fire.
Firefighters and police were called to Mill Lane, Waddon, at 2.30am on Monday to reports of the camper van on fire.
There was no-one inside the vehicle and no injuries were reported.
Neighbours said the caravan has been parked on the street, which leads from Purley Way to the Mill Lane Trading Estate, on and off for more than five years.
One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: "I woke up in the middle of the night to a huge bang and then saw police and firefighters all over the place.
"The van has been there for years; the man who owns it drives it away sometimes but comes back."
The fire did not spread to any surrounding cars.
The cause of the fire is not yet known; police and the fire brigade are investigating.
