Police and community support officers from Stonecot Safer Neighbourhoods Team are stepping up foot patrols after two suspicious fires broke out in the area last week.
The first fire left the Nisa Thai restaurant with a big clean-up job after the blaze destroyed the roof and part of the walls of its rear extension.
Three days later, a second fire caused damage to a garage at the rear of one of Hill Top’s houses, just 50 metres from the restaurant.
Prompt action from the fire brigade prevented the fires from spreading and kept damage to a minimum. No-one was hurt in either incident.

The police’s Stonecot Safer Neighbourhoods Team will be offering free mobile phone registration at Ridge Road Library on Wednesday 5th March from 2-5pm.
Thousands of mobile phones are lost and stolen each year. By registering your phone you make it easy for the police to immobilise your phone if stolen or return a lost phone to you if found.
Officers will also be giving advice and answering questions on how to prevent crime such as theft from vehicles, graffiti and any other issues of concern to local residents.
View this event on Sutton Active - the borough’s community calendar.
