    Police have arrested a second man in connection with 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.

    According to North Yorkshire Police, two men walked onto the forecourt, placed a backpack in the area and set it alight. The backpack then self-extinguished.

    Police today confirmed a 45-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of arson in connection with the incident.

    He currently remains in police custody.

    A 36-year-old man had previously been arrested on suspicion of arson and criminal damage on May 14. He was interviewed and later released on conditional bail.

    The force said no charges have been issued at this stage and investigations continue.

    Jill Cowling, detective inspector from Harrogate CID, said previously:

    “We’re treating this incident as deliberate, and enquiries are continuing.  Thankfully no one was injured, but we will be increasing police activity in the area to provide additional reassurance to the public.
    “As part of the ongoing police investigation I’m now appealing for people to come forward about any suspicious activity at the location on the night of Saturday 13 and in the early hours of Sunday 14 May 2023.”
