AN INVESTIGATION has been launched into a suspected arson attempt at Oldham College.

Students were evacuated from lessons after a fire broke out in ground floor toilets around 10.30am yesterday.

Students were redirected to lessons in other parts of the Rochdale Road campus 45 minutes after the fire broke out.

The Chronicle understands the fire may have been set deliberately.
