POLICE investigating a suspected arson attack at a house have issued security camera footage of a woman they want to speak to.

Seven people, including four children, had to flee their home in Scott Street, Keighley, early on May 18.

The image issued by police shows the woman at the bottom of Albert Street, close to Wetherspoons pub.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "The image appears to show a woman wearing light coloured clothing. She was seen in the area around the time of the attack, which happened at about 1am in Scott Street.

"Officers are keen to trace this person, as they believe they may have vital information about the incident."

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Cressida Jewell, of Bradford District CID, said: "This was a terrifying incident which could have had far more serious consequences for the three adults and four children who were in the property at the time.

"We believe this person to be local, as she is seen walking in the area.

"I'm urging anyone who recognises this image, or who may have seen this person on the night to come forward and speak with our detectives.

"Anyone else who can assist can contact Bradford District CID on 101, quoting crime reference 13170223726.

"Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."

Firefighters from Keighley, Bingley and Silsden attended the fire at the mid-terrace house.

Four children and two adults were making their way out of a back door when they arrived and crews forced their way in to rescue a man who was trapped in a room on the first floor.
