A huge blaze which broke out at a Poundland store in Moray on Friday is being treated as suspicious, police have said. The incident sparked an emergency response as firefighters fought to tackle the raging inferno shortly after 6pm on August 12.
The alarm was raised after the shop caught fire on Elgin High Street. Mercy crews, including Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, sped to the scene in a bid to extinguish the flames and help evacuate staff from the premises, which suffered 'extensive damage' to its shop floor.
It is understood around ten crews were in attendance, with one appliance remaining overnight to man the area. It is also believed it took firefighters around six hours to temper the blaze.
