Cheshire Police have confirmed that the fire at a building in Congleton town centre was started deliberately.
Nub News reported that shortly after 4.30pm on Sunday 17th May fire crews discovered a fire on the second floor of the property on West Street. The roof has been damaged in the blaze.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation and residents with any information have been urged to contact the police.
Police officers found around 250 cannabis plants inside the same building just two days before a fire broke out.
