Wirral offices set on fire after two men break in

Two men broke into and set fire to offices at an industrial park in Bromborough.

The two men forced entry to a property at an industrial park on Dock Road South, Bromborough on Sunday, July 25 between 11.30pm and the early hours of the morning.

Nobody was on site when the blaze began but the owner of the site returned the next day to find the offices on fire.

Nobody was injured during the incident, which saw valuable tools and machinery damaged.

CCTV and witness enquiries were carried out near the site at the time of the incident and detectives have now issued CCTV images of a man they believe could assist with their investigation.

Detective Inspector Barbara Hebden said: "This was a dangerous and reckless act of criminal damage where valuable tools and machinery were stored that has cost the owner serious damage to his business, inconvenience and stress.

“We have carried out a number of CCTV and witness enquiries and are keen to hear from anyone who may recognise the man pictured, or from anyone who may have been responsible or knows who is responsible, plus those in the area who saw the incident or have more details.”

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact @MerPolCC on Twitter or ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ on Facebook with reference 2100519940.
