Police are appealing for witnesses in relation to a suspected arson attack in Yorkshire.

North Yorkshire Police said a ‘object’ was set on fire and thrown at a house in Fifth Avenue, in Colburn, shortly after 1am on January 2. No one was injured but police have now released a CCTV in a bid to track down the culprits.

A statement from the force said: “If you saw anything suspicious in the area around this time or have any other information which could help our investigation, please get in touch. We're also hoping this CCTV image might jog someone's memory or that you may recognise the individual pictured as we believe they could have information which may help our investigation.
