Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a suspected arson attack on a bank in Nottingham city centre.

No one was injured in the fire which emergency services were called to shortly after 8pm last night (24th July).

A cordon has now been removed at Natwest Bank on South Parade Street.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service believe the fire was started deliberately.

Detective Inspector Lisa Jones, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“Lighting any fire is extremely reckless and has the potential to result in devastating consequences.

“Thankfully this fire was contained and no injuries were sustained.

“If you witnessed anything in the area, or if you have any relevant CCTV, doorbell, dashcam or mobile phone footage, please get in touch.”
