Staffordshire Police have arrested a third man as their investigation into the fire at the Crooked House pub continues.
Officers have been trawling through CCTV footage and speaking to those who have come forward with information since the fire on 5 August.
A 51-year-old man, from Buckingham, has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent or being reckless as to whether life was endangered.
He has since been released on conditional police bail while they continue to carry out a number of lines of enquiry.
They would like to thank everyone who has already come forward with important information about this investigation and those who are continuing to engage positively with officers.
The police understand that speculation is still widespread, both locally and online, and would like to reiterate that they are working hard to get through an extensive list of enquiries at this time.
The 66-year-old man and the 33-year-old man, who were previously arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, remain on conditional police bail at this time.
Police are still asking those people who might have information which can help them to get in touch if they haven’t already.
Call them on 101, or message us using Live Chat on our website.
