Officers are appealing for witnesses and video footage following a fire at a disused building in Northwich.

At around 6.30am on Wednesday 27 November police were called to reports of a fire at Leftwich Green Community Support Centre on Old Hall Road.

“Therefore, we’re urging anyone was in the area at the time and thinks they may have seen anything suspicious to get in touch.

“The same goes for anyone with any dashcam or CCTV footage which may aid our investigation.”
