Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses after an incident in Milton Keynes where a lit smoke device was posted through a letter box.

At 11pm on Friday 29 January, the resident arrived home to her property in Silicon Court, Shenley Lodge. On opening the front door, she saw a small item burning and the house was full of smoke.

It appears a smoke device had been lit and posted through the front door. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue attended and assisted with extractor fans to exhume the smoke from the house.

PC Chris Bird, investigating, said:

"Thankfully there was no lasting damage but this was mainly due to the floor surface not catching fire.

"Potentially this incident could have been very serious, with the possibility of the house catching fire and endangering the life of the residents."

Anyone with information is urged to contact PC Bird via the 24-hour Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505.

Alternatively call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
