Appeal following deliberate fire

We are appealing for information after a deliberate fire at a derelict property in Stoke-on-Trent.

We received a call from our colleagues at Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service at around 3.30pm on Friday (21 February), reporting a fire on the first floor and in the loft space of a semi-detached house on Theodore Road, Bucknall.

The cause of the fire is believed to be deliberate and our enquiries are ongoing.

Anyone who saw what happened, or those with any relevant CCTV, doorbell, or dashcam footage, can get in touch with us by calling 101, quoting incident 432 of 21 February, or by using Live Chat on our website.

To report anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
