Police have charged three men over a terrifying High Wycombe home burglary in which they allegedly doused a 52-year-old resident in methylated spirits and then set him on fire.

It comes after police on Sunday night revealed they had arrested two men in their 20s, and that a third man in his 30s was also assisting with inquiries.

The horrific attack occurred about 9.40pm on Friday when three men allegedly armed with firearms entered a home and threatened the occupants, dousing a 52-year-old man in methylated spirits to get him to open his gun safe.

Sunrise's Matt Tinney has the details.
