A man has been arrested in connection with a large fire at Plymouth Pallet and Drum last weekend.

The fire, being treated as arson, destroyed hundreds of pallets and could be seen across the city.

“We have lost thousands of pounds worth of stock,” said Zoe Bennett, who co-runs the business with husband Andrew.

Plymouth police said wooden pallets had been stacked around 20ft high and at the height of the fire flames reached 40ft.

The company stores, repairs and makes wooden pallets, with more than 30,000 in stock.
