We are appealing for information following a house fire in Stoke-on-Trent.
We were called to an address off Widecombe Road, Birches Head, at 6.45pm on Thursday (5 January).
Our colleagues from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service also attended.
On arrival, officers found a motorbike well-alight with the fire having spread to the external rear of the property.
The fire was extinguished by fire crews.
Thankfully, all persons were accounted for and no one was injured.
Inquiries are ongoing.
If you saw anything suspicious in the area at the time, or have any relevant CCTV or dashcam footage that could help us with our inquiries, contact us on Facebook, Twitter, or call 101, quoting incident number 611 of 5 January.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
