Police have released photos of three people they want to speak to in connection with a fire that destroyed a bus in Bristol.

Avon and Somerset Police were called to The Coots at about 16:00 GMT on 26 November last year, following reports of a fire on the double-decker bus.

The bus, a No 2 service, was travelling along Ladman Road and then into Stockwood Road.

When it came to a stop in The Coots, the driver realised the vehicle was on fire.
