By Laura Linham 7th May 2026
Police have issued a CCTV appeal after a bin was set alight in Shepton Mallet.
Officers were called to Collett Park at around 8.30pm on Saturday, 21 March, after the fire caused significant damage to a neighbouring café.
Avon and Somerset Police want to speak to two people pictured in connection with the incident.
Officers believe they may have information which could help the investigation.
The pair are thought to be teenagers.
Both had dark hair, were wearing tracksuits and were riding bicycles.
PC Dominic Oatley, the officer in the case, said: "We have carried out significant enquiries to identify those responsible for this deliberate fire, however we have been unable to identify any witnesses.
"We understand the image isn't very clear, but we are hoping someone may recognise these individuals so that we can further our investigation."
Anyone who recognises the pair is being asked to contact police.
