LEIGH detectives are appealing for information following two arson attacks on empty homes.
Just after 3pm on Monday police and fire fighters were called to blazes in Fairhurst Street and Milton Street.
Furniture being stored at the rear of the properties had been set light.
A white man in his late teens was seen running from the back of Fairhurst Street and was then spotted 10 minutes later in the company of another male teenager and a girl.
A joint investigation has been launched with the fire service and enquiries are continuing.
Anyone who has information is asked to contact Leigh CID on 0161 856 7252 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
