A blaze has destroyed part of a shop in Swanley High Street in a suspected arson attack.

Fire crews were called to the former Age Concern shop at 3pm.

Four pumps attended, and found the fire in a store room at the back of the derelict building.

The flames were contained to that part of the property. The room was heavily damaged by fire while the rest of the building was smoke-logged.

Nobody was injured.

Crews were there for 90 minutes.

An investigation is under way by Kent Fire and Rescue Service and the police, as arson is suspected.
