Arsonist still on the loose

Despite a massive appeal, Welshpool police are still looking for the arsonist who caused mayhem in the town centre on Saturday night.

Two cars and 16 units/garages were destroyed by what police describe as a “severe fire” which was caused deliberately at around 9.30pm at the top of Church Bank opposite the Westwood.

“There have been no arrests, but the investigation is continuing, and we would be grateful if you could continue to appeal for witnesses or information to ourselves by calling 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111,” said a police spokesperson.

Thankfully no one was injured.
