MERSEYSIDE Police have issued CCTV

investigation into incidents of attempted arson, at a residential tower block,
in Bootle. Officers are investigating a number of incidents where 2
females have entered Wren House, on St James Drive, after midnight and attempted

1 incident, at 1.05am, on Tuesday, 16 May 2017, a resident on the 5th Floor

fire, on his doorstep. He saw a hooded person running to the internal stairway

nobody was hurt in the incident. Officers have issued CCTV images of 2 women who
they believe could help with their enquiries.

resulted in an incident with tragic consequences. We have issued CCTV images of
2 women we would like to speak to in connection with this investigation and we
urge anybody who can identify them, or the women themselves, to get in touch. We
cannot tolerate this kind of dangerous behaviour and we are determined to bring
the culprits to justice."
