Police officers have been patrolling a Buckinghamshire nature reserve following reports of an arson.

The suspected arson has been reported at the Blue LagoonLc, the only Local Nature Reserve in the borough of Milton Keynes.

There is diverse habitat at the nature reserve including water, grassland, woodlands and and an abundance of animals and flowers.

Thames Valley Police's (TVP) neighborhood officers have also been patrolling nearby at the Leon recreation ground after reports of anti-social behaviour on the playing field.

The police force are working with Milton Keynes Council following the reports at both sites.

A TVP social media post said: "MK south NHPT have been out patrolling central Bletchley due to reports of arson at the Blue Lagoon and anti-social behaviour in Leon Rec playing field.

"TVP are working closely with Milton Keynes Council to reduce anti-social behaviour and make these areas more enjoyable for the public.

"It’s great to see Leon Rec has an enclosed area designed for dogs, this is great for training or if your pet needs space from other dogs or people."
