Detectives are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward following a suspected arson at a garage in Poole.
At around 1.45am on Sunday 19 August 2018 Dorset Police officers on patrol came across firefighters tackling a blaze outside the Library Road Garage in Library Road.
It is believed the fire had started at around 12.20am and was caused deliberately by setting a pile of tyres outside the garage alight. The fire spread to a parked car nearby and the garage itself, causing significant damage.
Nobody was inside the premises at the time of the incident.

“As part of our ongoing investigation I am appealing to anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the area around the time of the incident to contact police.”
