THE investigation into a large fire at Old Sarum Airfield in April has been closed after police exhausted all lines of enquiry.
The fire broke out shortly after 6 pm on April 17 in a partially derelict wartime hangar.
The hangar, known as Hangar 3, and the adjoining café were destroyed, and the building used by GoSkydive was badly damaged.
One person was arrested on suspicion of arson but was released with no further action taken.
Detective Sergeant Toni Nugent said: “We know this fire caused concern in the community, particularly as it destroyed a Grade II listed property. The fire report could not determine whether the fire was started deliberately or accidentally.
“We would like to thank the many people who sent footage of the incident and provided statements. We followed all relevant lines of enquiry but could not identify any further suspects.
“If new evidence comes to light, we will, of course, investigate. I would urge anyone with information to contact us through our website or by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which can be done anonymously.”
