CCTV pictures of men wanted for setting off fire alarm

Police want to speak to two men after a fire alarm was set off in Richmond House off Avenham Lane.

Preston city centre PCSO Stephen Connolly said: “We believe that they had been visiting one of the residents.

“The males are wearing distinctive clothing and both had bicycles with them.

“This incident prompted Lancashire Fire Rescue Service to attend and could have had serious consequences by delaying the Fire Service response to other incidents.”

Anyone with information can call the police on 01772 209 738.
