Warnings after two arson attacks

A warning for vigilance is issued after the cause of two house fires within a few miles of each other were found to have been started deliberately.

The advice was issued by police and firefighters on Anglesey.

On Saturday morning, crews tackled a fire in a house at Ty Croes. Just a few miles away at Pencarnisiog, another fire was reported 40 minutes later.

Both fires at unoccupied holiday homes were found to have been started deliberately. No-one was injured.

North Wales Police and North Wales Fire and Rescue Service launched a joint investigation into the incidents which were caused deliberately and appear to be connected.

Both properties were unoccupied holiday homes.

Police said there was nothing to suggest that the fires were related to any Welsh extremism and police are focussing their inquiry within the locality of the offences.

Anyone who knows anything about this incident should contact their local police station or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
