UK courts have dealt with two cases of arson involving recreational vehicles.
Harry Newby, 34, from Caister, Norfolk, admitted setting fire to his own caravan on 10 August 2025 at Jubilee Farm near Great Yarmouth. The blaze damaged neighbouring fence panels. On the same day, he also attempted to destroy a fire extinguisher belonging to Windmill Care Home in Rollesby. He was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £400 compensation to the fence owner, £75 to the care home, and a £26 surcharge.
In a separate incident, Jack Smith, 36, was jailed for 21 months for setting fire to a campervan with a man inside. The incident occurred on 9 December in South Lynn, when Smith doused the van with glue and set it alight, but the occupant managed to extinguish the flames and was unharmed.
