Witness appeal following arson in Bromsgrove

We are appealing for anyone who has any information following arson at a property in Bromsgrove on Saturday 16 December.

Around 1am the suspects set fire to a house on Blackmore Lane in the town, causing extensive damage to the property resulting in the first floor collapsing.

Investigating officer PC Braithwaite said: “Thankfully the property was unoccupied, but it is surrounded by trees and other properties so the potential threat to others was high.

“I would like to see CCTV footage, doorbell footage and dashcam footage from around the time of the fire and I would like to speak to anyone who may have seen suspicious behaviour in the area”.

If you have any information, please contact PC Braithwaite by email [email protected] or by calling 07970709989.

Alternatively, information can be shared anonymously with the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or by visiting www.crimestoppers-org.uk
