Investigation launched after fire at Stoke-on-Trent car dealership
Police are appealing for information
An investigation is underway after a fire at a car dealership in Stoke-on-Trent.
Emergency services were called to the Mercedes dealership on Cobridge Road, Cobridge, just after 3am on Sunday.
Four cars were found on fire, and firefighters shortly afterwards confirmed that the fire had been started deliberately.
A male suspect was seen entering the dealership at 2.35am on Sunday and poured petrol over one of the cars, using a petrol can, before setting it alight with the fire having spread to three other cars.
He was then seen leaving the scene just before 2.40am on an electric scooter in the direction of Waterloo Road.
The suspect was wearing a dark-coloured hoody and jogging bottoms as well as a glove.
Anyone who saw anything is asked to contact Staffordshire Police on 101.
