Arson Squad detectives have released CCTV footage as inquiries continue into a deliberately-lit fire in Newcastle last year.<\/p>\n
Emergency services were called to Kemp Street at The Junction just after midnight on Sunday 7 July 2014 where they found a building well-alight.<\/p>\n
The blaze was extinguished; however, the building was extensively damaged.<\/p>\n
Through initial inquiries, investigators determined the fire was deliberately lit.<\/p>\n
Strike Force Chaperon was subsequently formed by detectives from the Property Crime Squad\u2019s Arson Unit with assistance from Newcastle City Local Area Command.<\/p>\n
Following initial inquiries, police have today released CCTV footage of a car travelling along Kemp Street shortly before the fire, as well as footage of a man walking near the building.<\/p>\n
The grey or silver vehicle is believed to be similar to a late 1990s or early 2000s model BMW 3.<\/p>\n
Strike Force detectives believe the man can assist with their inquiries and are appealing for anyone who knows his identity, or recognises the car, to come forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
