Firefighters called the police after putting out flames on the mast

Police are treating a fire that damaged a 5G phone mast in Derbyshire as suspicious.

Firefighters were called to Wilsthorpe Road in Long Eaton at 23:27 BST on Thursday and extinguished flames on the 10m (33ft) mast.

Derbyshire Police said it was contacted by the fire service over concerns the badly-damaged structure had become unsafe.

The force has appealed for witnesses to come forward.

The road remains closed while work to make the site safe continues, a police spokesperson said.

Anyone with information has been asked to contact the force.
