The attack destroyed several charitable minibuses, on which vulnerable members of the community relied. Police officers have already collected several hours of footage from the police as part of their investigation and members of the public have also handed over their own shots. In a first look at the video, two people, believed to be teenagers or young men, caught the attention of the police and they wanted to talk to them.

Nearly three-quarters of an hour later, at 2:30 a.m., vehicles parked at the Jubilee Center on Savages Wood Road were targeted before doubling at Little Stoke Stadium, where they set fire to more vehicles at 3:09 a.m. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a Rolls Royce car park on Gipsy Patch Avenue, destroying 16 minibuses before police said they had probably reversed their steps to set fire to a vehicle on Sherb Avenue. . Map showing where the series of arson attacks took place (Image: Avon and Somerset Police) Owners of all but three target vehicles have been identified – with one Mini and two minibuses severely damaged to identify their owners. A team of detectives is investigating the incident with the support of colleagues across the organization, including specialist crime scene investigators. Detective Inspector Will Thorpe said: “While we are still in the early stages of the investigation, we have already made significant progress. Dozens of hours of footage from public and private CCTV cameras and doorbells have been collected and are still being reviewed. “We remain open-minded about the motives of these attacks, but from the investigations we have carried out to date, we do not believe that the perpetrators targeted specific vehicles. Most of the vehicles destroyed belonged to charities and it is hard to imagine that if the offenders had known this, they would have been deliberately set on fire. “All the victims have been greatly disturbed by this shameful crime and we are committed to finding those responsible. We continue to appeal to the residents of the area to check any camera shots they may have from the early morning hours of Sunday, especially between 01:00 and 4:40 am. when offenders may have passed. “We are also happy to hear from any driver with dashboard footage who may have crossed the area, as well as anyone who saw two people acting suspiciously.” The police ask anyone who can help to call 101 and give the caller the reference number 5222078490 or fill out the online complaint form here.
