POLICE are trying to track down a man who set fire to a bin in Malvern.
The incident happened at 2am on Christmas Day – a man was seen walking down by the side of Eversley Stores (the old Cadbury shop).
He then set fire to a bin by the shop’s side door which was very close to a mains gas pipe.
The blaze got out of control and caused significant damage to the building. Fortunately no-one was hurt.
Police, who were called to the scene along with Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, attended.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: “We believe the male has walked from the Malvern Link area and carried on up towards Link Top.”
They urged witnesses or anyone with CCTV or doorbell footage of the incident to email [email protected] or call officers on 101.
