A man arrested after a fire that led to 200 people in an Oxfordshire being evacuated has been released without charge.
The man, in his 30s, was arrested after the fire in a workshop at Newlands Street, Eynsham on June 21. About 200 people spent a night away from their homes and dozens of fire fighters were drafted in amid fears gas cylinders could explode.
Det Sgt Craig Kirby, of West Oxfordshire CID, said: "A protracted investigation was conducted by the police and Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue.
"Having consulted with the Crown Prosecution Service, it was decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute and the decision has been taken to take no further action against the man arrested.
"We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this investigation."
