A FIRE broke out by the skate park in Kings Park earlier today.

Whilst out on high visibility patrols in the area due to reports of anti-social behaviour, the Boscombe neighbourhood policing team were alerted to a fire.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Service attended the park and extinguished the fire.

BCP Council arrived after the fire service to clear the affected area up.

Boscombe NPT will continue to patrol Kings Park and other anti-social behaviour areas.
