CCTV Shows Man in Olive Green Jacket
The drama unfolded on the night of 14 February at around 11.25pm, when a fire severely damaged a mixed-use building on Regent Street. Luckily, no one was hurt.
CCTV caught a man near the scene. He’s described as about 5ft 8in, average build, wearing black jeans and a distinctive olive green jacket. Despite the footage, police haven’t cracked the case yet and are hoping someone recognises the suspect.
