Appeal continues after family home targeted by arsonists

Police continue to appeal for witnesses after a family home was targeted by arsonists twice in four days.

A bottle filled with flammable liquid was thrown at the door of the home in Wolsey Terrace, on Banham Road, Beccles, at 11.50pm on March 18.

The front door mat was damaged, however, the fire did not take hold.

At 7pm on March 21, a similar incident was reported to Suffolk Police at the same house. No damage was caused in the second attack.

Following the incidents the family has moved out of the home, while police urged people living in the area to keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
