The arrest comes as the third in a series of actions taken by the police to get to the bottom of the incident that left the pub in ruins.

Blaze at the Crooked House Pub

Last month, a fierce blaze erupted at the Crooked House pub, leaving it nothing but a shell of its former self. The fire was so intense that it reduced the historic establishment to a pile of rubble. The incident raised concerns about potential foul play, leading to a thorough investigation.

This latest arrest follows the detainment of two other individuals, aged 66 and 33, who were also taken into custody in connection with the fire at the Crooked House pub. These men, like the most recent arrestee, were subsequently released on conditional bail as police inquiries continue.
