We are appealing for information following a fire at an industrial site in Wavertree on Friday 10 January.
Just after 8.30pm it was reported that two temporary cabins were on fire at The Bridge on Spofforth Road. No injuries were reported.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service attended and extinguished the fire.
A joint investigation between Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and Merseyside Police is ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to contact police.
Detective Inspector Mike Fletcher said: “Luckily nobody was injured at the time of the fire which has caused significant damage to the temporary buildings.
“The investigation is in the early stages, which we believe it was started deliberately.
“I would like to appeal to anyone was in the vicinity at around 8.30pm onwards and noticed any suspicious activity then please let us know.
"I am also appealing for any drivers who were in the area at the time to please check your dashcam footage and get in touch if something suspicious was captured. This evidence could hold information that could be vital to our enquiries.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident or with any information can contact us by DM via our social media desk on Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ with reference 25000026759.
