Police have released CCTV footage as part of an investigation to identify two arson attack suspects.

Dorset Police was called to an address in Montgomery Avenue, Bournemouth, at about 01:05 BST on 15 May.

The footage shows two men wearing face coverings getting out of a dark-coloured VW Tiguan and throwing bricks and a petrol bomb at the property before leaving in the same vehicle.

The force said the fire service had extinguished the fire and a man, who had been inside the address, had sustained a minor burn injury to his hand but had not required hospital treatment.

Det Insp Chris Bradford called the attack "deliberate and targeted".

He urged anyone who recognises the suspects or their voices, or could provide any further information, to contact the force.
