A fire in a redundant building off a Cambridgeshire town's High Street was deliberately started, according to the fire service.

Firefighters were called to the blaze on Acre Road in March at 06:30 BST, and managed to extinguish it by 08:00.

"The crew will be heading to re-inspect the scene later today as a precaution, but the cause of the fire has been confirmed as deliberate," the fire service said.

No injuries were reported, it added.
