A woman arrested after a fire that ripped through multiple homes in Calcot has been bailed again.
Residents were evacuated from Red Cottage Drive in the middle of the night on July 28 and two arrests were made in the following days.
Bail has been extended until November 1 for the woman, who was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
A 17-year-old boy initially suspected of arson with intent to endanger life remains released under investigation, Thames Valley Police confirmed.
