Police scenes of crime officers were today searching the base of school photographer Stanley Baker Studios, in Tyler Street, Parkeston, for clues.

Two men robbed and then set fire to the company's staff building yesterday. The pair were captured setting fire to the building on CCTV cameras which were installed after a wave of vandalism attacks on the business.

Andy Baker, the company's managing director, said the business was operating today despite the incident.

Despite the blaze starting at 2.47am it was not discovered until 5.45am by an employee on an early shift.

Any witnesses should contact Harwich police on 01255 241312.
