TWO people had to be rescued by fire fighters from a property in Milford Haven following a suspected arson attack.
Police say they are now keen to speak to anyone who was in the area of Robert Street between 3am and 3.45am on Tuesday morning (Aug 2), and who has information that will help with their investigation, to get in touch.
The incident took place in a flat in Trinity Place, next door to the old Milford Haven sorting office.
Robert street was flooded with emergency vehicles, including police, fire appliances and an ambulance following the middle-of-the-night- incident – with some neighbours coming out of their homes due to being woken up by the commotion, others videoed the scene on mobile phones.
The police and ambulance service have both given statements to The Pembrokeshire Herald following the incident.
