POLICE have renewed an appeal for information following a fire at a tanning salon.
The blaze at Ultrasun on Chester Street, Saltney, was reported shortly before 2.30am on Friday.
Three fire engines from Chester and Ellesmere Port were on the scene within minutes and crews prevented the fire from spreading to neighbouring properties.
Five tanning pods and the front of the tanning salon were completely destroyed by the fire.
The cause of the blaze is believed to be deliberate after the front door had been smashed in and CCTV footage shows two men walking to the front of the shop shortly before the blaze.
Cheshire Police confirmed they would still like to speak to the two men in relation to the incident. Anyone with any information is asked to call Cheshire CID on 101 or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Arson reduction manager at Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, Colin Heyes said:
“It is thanks to the swift action of the passers by who reported the fire and our firefighters that it didn’t spread further.
“Nevertheless, the fire has caused significant damage to this business and for that reason we would urge anyone with information to contact the police or Crimestoppers.”
