Wick shop fire "was arson"

A FIRE that ripped through a Wick shop this morning (Friday, June 25) was started deliberately.

An investigation by West Sussex Fire and Rescue has found that the blaze, at Sunrise in True Blue Precinct, Wick Street, at about 2am, was the result of an arson attack.

Nearby flats were evacuated, and seven people forced to leave their homes, as it was feared that the fire would spread.

The eastern European food shop was severely damaged, and neighbouring units were smoke and hear damaged.

Fire crews from Littlehampton, East Preston and Arundel were at the scene until about 5am.

Anyone with information is asked to call Littlehampton Police on 0845 60 70 999.
