A blaze that broke out at a derelict factory near Ipswich is being treated as a suspected arson.

The fire began in a concrete pit at the former Fisons factory in Bramford this morning.

A heavy emergency presence was seen in the Paper Mill Lane area.

The factory has been plagued with fires with 10 blazes breaking out in as many years.

A spokeswoman for Suffolk Fire and Rescue confirmed the fire is thought to have been arson.

The investigation follows a fire in 2019 when the factory's North Warehouse was destroyed in a separate arson incident.
