Police
are hunting this suspected arsonist in connection with a large fire
that destroyed part of an industrial estate in the early hours of the
morning.
Officers
from Bexley are renewing appeals for witnesses to identify who was
responsible for starting the blaze in Yarnton Way, Erith, south-east
London on Saturday, 21 February.
This
CCTV image has been released of a man they wish to speak with who was
at the scene of the fire shortly before it began.
The
man is described as white and is believed to be in his early twenties
and was wearing distinctive camouflage clothing and a camouflage hat.
Detective
Chief Inspector Gary Holmes of Bexley Police, who is leading the
investigation, said: "I am appealing to anyone who recognises
the man in this footage to contact police, or Crimestoppers
anonymously.
"I
am sure that someone will know who he is. I would also ask, does
anyone know or remember anyone of this description - wearing
camouflage clothing - on Friday night into Saturday morning in Erith
or the local area?
"I
would also urge the man seen in the footage to come forward and speak
with police.
"Thankfully,
no one was hurt but the fire has caused vast damage in the area."
Police
and London Fire Brigade were called at approximately 2:00am and
the
fire was brought under control by 5:40am.
There
were no reported injuries.
Anyone
who has any information should contact the police on 101 or call
