Summer Riots: Arson Suspects Hunted By Police


Police are hunting these two arson suspects – wanted for questioning about a fire during last summer’s riots that destroyed a West London shop and the four residential flats above.

The CCTV images have been released in the hope the alleged rioters can be identified.

A store called The Ealing Green Local, The Green, Ealing was broken into and deliberately set ablaze at 11.00pm on August 8.

The building suffered severe fire damage along with the flats above and neighbouring properties also sustained significant water damage as the fire brigade tried to bring the flames under control.

The first man is described as white, wearing a distinctive hooded top with the letters GSRD across the front. 



The second man is described as black, wearing a black jacket with a grey hooded top underneath.



Detective Sergeant Ewan Robertson said: “This mindless act has ruined people’s livelihoods and homes, but it could easily have resulted in the loss of their lives.

“I would ask anyone who recognises the men in these CCTV images to speak to police or contact Crimestoppers in the strictest of confidence.”



Anyone with information is asked to call police on 020 8785 8580 or ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
