An Interesting Bit of Local Colour.

Today (23/5/12) I picked up a copy of the local newspaper to check out the reporting on that fire in Langdale Road, Thornton Heath last Tuesday (15/5/12). Reading between the lines it seems the property was owned by a landlord who'd filed several complaints of harassment and intimidation against Croydon Council. At the time of the fire the property had been rented out to a Chinese/Thai gang who were using it as a cannabis farm. In the same street where there was that shooting happened at around this time last year the fire seems a good way for the local firm to settle a score and put police pressure on competitors.

Although an exact cause of the fire has yet to be determined the local police are said to be not treating it as suspicious.
