Arsonists set fire to a former youth club building in Crewe.

Police are appealing for witnesses after the building on Mirion Street was deliberately set on fire.

The blaze started at around 5pm on June 25. Two fire engines from Crewe were dispatched to discover a blaze inside a former youth club.

Sgt Jo Taylor said: “If the fire had spread to neighbouring buildings it could have had very serious consequences for those living or working there.

“This is not the first time this building has been targeted and we are urging anyone who sees suspicious activity in the area to report it to police.

“The suspects themselves are also putting their own lives at risk with their senseless actions.

“If you have any information on those responsible, or you witnessed the incident, I would urge you to contact police.”
