Travellers at Affinity Staffordshire (stock image)
Travellers set up camp in the grounds of an out-of-town shopping centre – again. Three caravans and a car arrived at Affinity Staffordshire, in Talke, at 5pm on Friday 24 April.
They were still at the shopping centre when a vehicle burst into flames on Saturday afternoon. But Staffordshire Police say the travellers have since left the site.
A police spokesman said: “We were called to Affinity Staffordshire following reports of the arrival of travellers. Three caravans and a car had arrived in the area. Officers attended and liaised with the group as well as site security. The group has since left the area.”
