Bristol: £2,500 reward following repeated arson attacks on a business

We are appealing to the public to tell us anonymously what they know about anyone responsible for repeated arson attacks on a property in Bristol. A reward of up to £2,500 is available.

The most recent attack on the business premises underneath residential flats along Regents Street, Clifton, happened at around 11.25pm on Tuesday 14 February this year. Investigators have released an image of a person they would like to speak to as part of their enquiries, who was captured on CCTV.
 
 The individual is described as five foot, eight inches tall, with an average build. They were wearing a distinctive olive green, parka style jacket and black jeans. It is believed this same person was present when the business premises was again targeted by an arsonist on Wednesday 21 December 2022, when windows were smashed and accelerant was poured through the front door letterbox.
