CCTV images have been released of a man police wish to speak to in connection with a spate of bin fires in a village.

Firefighters have been called to at least seven incidents - some involving multiple fires - in Trumpington, near Cambridge, since 17 February.

Police said a fire in a bin store below flats in Addenbrooke's Road on Wednesday caused a window to crack and smoke to enter a property, with the occupant unharmed. A bin store below flats was also set alight in Cornwell Road on the same night.

They added that they were linking all incidents and urged anyone who recognised the man in the images to contact them.
