Reward offered after firm arson

A reward is being offered for information leading to a conviction following an arson attack on business premises in Swindon.

The four-figure sum has been put up in a bid to find out who was responsible for the fire at Hillmead Joinery on Marshall Road on 10 February.

The blaze quickly spread through the building and nearby skips causing repairs to damage estimated at £50,000.

At its height 20 firefighters worked to control and put out the flames.

Police are hoping to find the owners of two cars pictured in CCTV images taken at the location who may be able to help the investigation.

Pc Lawrence Copeland said: "I would like to hear from anyone who has information regarding the arson or the two cars.

"The owners are offering up to a £1,000 reward for any information that leads to a conviction."
