POLICE have released CCTV images of a person they want to trace in connection with an arson attack in Frome.

The incident unfolded at around 5.45am on Wednesday, March 13, when a person walked to a bike and bin store in Sunnybank Court and is believed to have set light to it.

“Officers believe the man in the footage may have information which can aid their enquiries.”

He is described as white, of average build, with short, dark hair. He is shown carrying a cross body bag and wearing cargo trousers and a jumper.
