POLICE are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a fire damaged a derelict building in East Brent, leaving it unsafe to enter.
Officers were called to the scene by the Devon & Somerset Rescue Service at 1.45pm on Monday, March 13.
A police investigation has now launched to establish the cause of the fire, which was tackled by firefighters from eight stations including Taunton, Bridgwater and Burnham.

“We are especially keen to speak to a man who was cycling in the area at the time. He is described as a white adult teenager, of slim build, with dark hair.
“The structural integrity of the building has been damaged and the property is not safe to enter.”
Anyone with information or footage that could support the police investigation should call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5223059311.
