MAN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH FRUIT STALL FIRE

A 26-year-old man has been arrested after a fire destroyed a market stall in Hull city centre, police have confirmed.

The Coyle and Sons stall, based on King Edward Street, was badly damaged in the incident on Monday night.

Officers are questioning the man on suspicion of arson and possession of a Class B drug.

He was also arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in connection with a separate incident.

The business, which has been running for more than 30 years, is owned by the Coyle family.

Following the fire, former professional boxer Tommy Coyle told the BBC his family had been left "devastated" by what had happened.
