  DI Richard Dancey  This incident has caused a great deal of speculation locally and we understand the significance of the building within the local community. “We would like to remind the public that our investigation is ongoing and we are reviewing all of the available evidence alongside fire investigators to determine the cause of the incident.” Dancey said people were being asked to avoid the area due to damage to the structure of the building.
