{UAH} UK phone masts attacked amid 5G-coronavirus conspiracy theory

Three recent mobile phone mast fires around the UK are being investigated as possible arsons, amid concerns that people are attacking telecoms infrastructure because of a conspiracy theory linking 5G technology to the spread of coronavirus.

The mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, also revealed he had received threats relating to the "bizarre" theory, which has gained traction on social media.

On Friday, emergency services were called to reports that a 5G mast was on fire in Liverpool shortly before 11pm. Police confirmed they were investigating the blaze at Spencer's Lane, Aintree, close to the M57 motorway.

Fire crews managed to get the fire under control quickly and were photographed parked outside the field shortly after it was extinguished.
