Police release CCTV images after Pateley Bridge petrol station attempted arson
Police have released CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to after an attempted arson in Pateley Bridge.
Officers say the incident happened between 1.45am and 2.45am on Sunday (May 14) at the Dales Market Corner petrol station in the town.
Two men walked onto the forecourt, placed a backpack in the area and set it alight. The backpack then self-extinguished.
Yesterday afternoon, officers arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of arson and criminal damage. He was interviewed and later released on conditional bail.
North Yorkshire Police has now appealed for the public to help with further information which may assist with the ongoing investigation.
