THREE skip lorries worth £84,000 have been destroyed in an arson attack at a commercial yard in Maidstone Road, Charing, Ashford.

Ken Davies, owner of Skip-It based at Shaw Grange has offered a substantial reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the culprits.

Despite the major loss it is business as usual for the company that handles a range of waste disposal services.

Police were called to the scene but the Iveco Ford flatbed, Mann and Daf commercial tippers were all burnt out. There were no injuries.
