A huge plume of smoke billowed over Laleham and Shepperton on the evening of Saturday May 16.

Police closed Littleton Lane in Shepperton to traffic while firefighters battled a massive blaze at an industrial site off the road.

Planes landing at Heathrow Airport were also affected by smoke from the fire which started at about 6.50pm.

A spokeswoman for Surrey Fire and Rescue Service said: "The fire is at a range of buildings which are full of rubbish, lorries, tyres and things like that.

"There is a lot of smoke damage and there is the chance that it is of suspicious origin.

"A lot of black smoke was caused, which has affected planes trying to land at Heathrow."

Eyewitnesses reported seeing four ambulances rushing to the scene, but no one is thought to have been injured.
