Police appeal for information following arson attack on Halifax pharmacy

    Police are appealing for information following an arson at a pharmacy in Halifax in the early hours of this morning.

    At around 2.25am, officers were called by the Fire Service to a report of a fire at the premise on Free School Lane.

    Two suspects approached the building and smashed a front window before setting fire to the inside.

    They then returned to a vehicle, which had been parked on Clover Hill Road, and made off along Free School Lane in the direction of Halifax.

    Minimal damage was caused to the inside of the premise and no one was injured.

    Detectives are appealing for anyone with information or anyone who witnessed a dark-coloured saloon vehicle driving in the area to contact police.

    Anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the hours leading up to the incident is also asked to contact officers.
