SHARE

Police have launched an appeal for information following a suspicious house fire in Islington earlier this year.

Detectives released CCTV footage on Thursday 13 June in the hope of locating two men, who may be able to assist with their inquiries.

It comes after emergency services were called to a home on Norfolk Avenue about 11.20am on Monday 25 March, following reports of a fire.

Fire and Rescue NSW crews attended and extinguished the blaze.

However, parts of the home sustained significant damage.

Officers from Newcastle City Police District attended and began inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the blaze under Strike Force Rhodochrosite.

Now, they’re chasing down a couple of leads, with the help of the CCTV footage.

The first man is described as being about 170-180cm tall of solid build and with dark hair.

He’s pictured wearing an orange hi-vis shirt, dark shorts, tan work boots and sunglasses.

The second male is about 180-185cm tall, of muscular build and with black hair.

He was pictured wearing a yellow hi-vis shirt, dark shorts, dark shoes and sunglasses.

Anyone able to identify the men is urged to contact Newcastle Detectives or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
