Shotton Lane fire update

Police are continuing to appeal for information following a fire a former social club in Shotton, Flintshire in the early hours of Friday February 4.

The cause of the blaze which destroyed the empty building in Shotton Lane has yet to be determined, but North Wales Police are treating the fire as suspicious.
