Fourth boy arrested over retail park fire
A fourth boy has been arrested after a major fire broke out inside a shop at a retail park. Emergency services were called to the Dunelm store at the St James Retail Park off Towcester Road in Northampton, just after 15:00 BST on Saturday. Police initially arrested three boys on suspicion of arson, aged 15, 14 and 13. The 13-year-old was released without further action while the others were released on bail. Detectives have now arrested another 14-year-old boy, who remains in custody. Det Insp Nick Peters said: "This investigation continues at a fast pace, however I would continue to appeal for anyone with information to come forward. "We have spoken to a lot of witnesses already but we are still keen to hear from anyone else who has not yet contacted us." Footage from social media showed the fire had spread into the next door Pets at Home store, which had to be evacuated of staff and animals. Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service remained at the scene through Saturday night before the blaze was brought under control by 10:20 on Sunday.
