FIREFIGHTERS battled to put out a blaze at a barn at Holly Green Farm in Ryall.

Five pumps from Upton, Tewkesbury, Pershore and Worcester were called to the scene at 9.30pm on Friday.

Firefighters remained there until 5pm on Saturday.

One hundred tonnes of straw and 200 tonnes of grain being stored in the barn were destroyed.

Police are treating the incident as suspicious and believe it may be related to a series of recent barn fires in Herefordshire and Worcestershire. They would like to hear from anyone who was in the Ryall area prior to the fire.
