ARSON is suspected after two fires broke out yesterday at the derelict site of a former restaurant in Hereford.

Fire fighters were called to the former Campions restaurant, in Greyfriars Avenue, at around 1.39am and put out a small fire.

At around 3.37pm a second crew from Hereford attended the site and put out another small fire.

Fire service spokeswoman Samantha Jones said arson is suspected and police have been notified.
