Police treating garage fire as suspicious

Police are treating a garage fire in Hereford as suspicious.

Officers were called to a fire on Brampton Road at around 1:30am today.

A garage, located behind properties along Brampton Road was on fire. The fire was successfully put out by the Fire Service.

Police and the fire service conducted inquiries in the nearby area and information suggests that youths were seen in the area before the fire began. 

The owners of the garage were later located and informed, which was very upsetting and distressing for the couple.

All their  belongings within the garage have been destroyed in the fire leaving nothing for them to recover. 

The incident is being treated as suspicious and West Mercia Police is urging any members of the public with information to come forward.
