Two people will appear in court today after being charged with arson.

The fire occurred at a home in Britten Road, Lowestoft on Monday.

Police were called at around 4.35am but it is thought the fire started earlier.

Thirty-two year-old Claire Harris of Beechwood Gardens, Lowestoft and a 17-year-old boy also from Lowestoft were arrested yesterday and have been charged with arson with intent to endanger life.

They will both appear at Lowestoft Magistrates’ Court today.
