Police hunt Fareham arson suspect after two cars set alight

Two cars were set alight with petrol outside an address on Miller Drive, Fareham, at about 11pm on Tuesday, September 29.

No-one was injured following the blaze but police believe the person responsible suffered ‘flash type burns’ when petrol was ignited.

‘We want to speak to the man pictured wearing a hooded top with an emblem on the left chest area,’ a police statement said.

‘We appreciate the picture is quite grainy, but we are hoping someone will recognise this person. Do you know him? Do you know anyone who has suffered any unexplained burns recently?’

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting 44200378755.
