Police believe a man seen in the area could help with inquiries

Police investigating a suspected arson attack at a shop have released pictures of a man they believe could help with their inquiries.

No-one was injured in the fire which broke out at The Fountain Stores in Court Road, Malvern, at about 04:00 BST on 30 May, but police said it would have been "a very different outcome" if the building had been occupied.

PC David Olczak said the man was seen in the area later that day, adding: "Although his face is covered, the clothing is distinctive, and I hope somebody may recognise and be able to identify them."

He urged people to check doorbell and dashcam footage as it may have captured the man without a face covering.
