The need for caravan insurance was highlighted by arson attacks in north Wales over the weekend.

According to the Daily Post, police are looking for information on two incidents, which saw caravans in Kinmel Bay and Towyn torched.

The mobile homes were located at Sunnyvale Holiday Park and Whitehouse Leisure Park respectively.

Fire crews attended both incidents, but they were too late to save either caravan.

Both attacks occurred within three miles and 60 minutes of each other, leading officers to believe that they were related.

A third, unrelated attack was reported in Bangor, where a derelict caravan was torched by vandals.

Whitehouse Leisure Park owner Mark Whitehouse called it an “upsetting incident” and revealed how the owner of the caravan was present before the fire started.

“We thank our security guard, staff, residents and the emergency services for their response,” he told the newspaper.

In other news, a family is hoping to use images from Google Street View to help them catch the culprit who stole their caravan.
