Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to trace in connection with a large fire at a removals and storage company.

Fire crews from Norfolk and Suffolk were called to Britannia Alan Cook, on Pinbush Road in Gisleham, Lowestoft, at about midnight on 8 June.

Suffolk Police said it was treating the incident at the family-owned business as arson and has appealed for witnesses.

"Officers have studied CCTV footage that show a man acting suspiciously climbing over a fence of the premises and [he] is seen on or near containers," a spokesperson said.

About 15 fire vehicles went to the incident. People living nearby were advised to keep windows and doors closed because of the smoke.

No-one was inside but customers' possessions were lost.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said its crews had spent the night tackling the flames.

The blaze tore through the site on the Suffolk coast

A statement the removals and storage company posted said: "We are heartbroken by the far-reaching impact this has had on the livelihoods of our valued customers, our dedicated staff, our family business."

Police believe the fire was an arson attack
