TWO people are wanted by police after being seen leaving the scene of a deliberate house fire in Gelligaer which left a five-year-old boy in hospital.
Gwent Police received a report of a house fire in Greenhill Place, Gelligaer, at around 2.30am on Sunday, April 30.
The cause of the fire was deemed to be deliberate following a joint investigation by South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, whose firefighters also attended, and the police.
Paramedics from the Welsh Ambulance Service attended and treated two people – a 26-year-old woman and a five-year-old boy – for minor injuries.
The boy later attended hospital as a precaution.
Investigating officers would like to speak to two people who were seen in Greenhill Place at the time of the fire.
The pair then reportedly left the area on foot in the direction of Hamman Place before they got into a dark coloured car and are believed to have headed in the direction of Bargoed.
