A second man has been arrested after a fire destroyed about 140 vehicles at a car park used by passengers travelling from Gatwick Airport.

A 29-year-old man was arrested on Monday, and has been released on bail alongside a 67-year-old man who was held on Saturday evening, when the fire took place, Sussex Police said.

Meanwhile, Gatwick passengers who parked their car with a third party company that uses the site have criticised a lack of communication, with some yet to find out if their vehicle is safe, or has been destroyed.

Some customers who have returned to their cars say their vehicles have been "burnt to a shell" as a result of the fire. Sapphire Parking was approached for comment.

Natalie Odell, from Liss in Hampshire, said that she had arrived home from Crete on Sunday morning to find out about the fire, but did not know if her car had been caught in the damage.

She said that communication has been "almost zero" from Sapphire, adding that until she found out whether her car was affected she would not be able to claim on her insurance.

"I just feel really cross about it", she said, adding: "We had a great holiday, but when I think back to it I will be thinking about this situation."

Nick Brooks, from Wembley, is also waiting to find out whether his Ford Focus ST has been affected while he was in Sharm El-Sheikh.

"It's just frustrating and very stressful. I'm very sad about my car, you get attached to it and I have had it for 12 years," he said.

Others have told the BBC that they have spent hundreds of pounds on travel to and from Gatwick Airport due to not having their car, with some saying they had been told that Sapphire would reimburse them for their travel.

The blaze broke out at Caldyne Business Park in Wallage Lane, Rowfant, shortly after 21:00 BST on Saturday, and images from the site showed huge flames and massive plumes of smoke above rows of stationary cars.

Images from recent days show lines of fire-damaged cars, though some of the vehicles parked with Sapphire Parking, which runs the third party Gatwick parking site, are unaffected.

A spokesperson for Sapphire said on Monday that the fire was "a nightmare for everyone", and that it had been forced to cancel 600 bookings as a result.

No casualties were reported due to the fire, and a spokesperson for Gatwick Airport, which does not own the site, said it "understands how concerning and distressing this will be" for passengers.

Jason Carson, from Guildford, received his car back after tracking the Tesla, which showed that the car was still in the compound, and going to the site himself.

After arriving on Barcelona with his family on Sunday, he eventually picked up his car on Tuesday, after a number of trips to Gatwick and calls to the company who he says had told him they could return his car, but then had not been able to.

He said: "I didn't have a huge amount of faith in them anyway, but I think they were ill-prepared to manage this.

"I feel very sorry for anyone whose car has gone up in smoke."

Sussex Police is continuing to appeal for information about the fire.
