Investigators are appealing for the writer of an anonymous letter to come forward after the correspondence was linked to an arson attack now under active police examination.

Detectives said the letter, whose author has not been identified, could prove significant to their inquiry. Police are keen to speak with the writer, though they have not disclosed the specific contents of the correspondence or confirmed whether it was received before or after the fire was set.

Arson investigations frequently hinge on written communications, whether claiming responsibility, providing witness accounts, or containing details only someone with direct knowledge of an attack would possess. In this case, authorities have indicated the letter forms a meaningful part of their ongoing work but have not yet named any suspects or specified the location or target of the attack.

Anyone with information about the letter's authorship, or about the arson itself, has been urged to contact police directly. Those who wish to remain anonymous can provide information through independent reporting channels, which allow callers to pass on details without revealing their identity.

The investigation remains open.
