Crooked House fire: Two men, 66 and 33, arrested on suspicion of arson after Britain’s wonkiest pub destroyed in blaze
TWO men have been arrested on suspicion of arson after the famed Crooked House pub was destroyed in a blaze.
The men, aged 33 and 66, were nabbed today following the inferno on August 5.
The fire has been surrounded by mystery and theories since the pub was reduced to charred remains – then turned to rubble.
The Crooked House pub in Himley, Staffs, burnt down on just days after it was sold.
Just last week the pub’s foul-mouthed owned denied any responsibility.
Adam Taylor, 44, who was in Corfu with wife Carly and their children — said the family just wanted to get away from the “bull***t” back in England”.
On the day of the blaze, Staffordshire and West Midlands fire services raced to the scene on Himley Road to battle the flames but could not contain the inferno.
The two men, from Milton Keynes, remain in custody.
Cops said they’re continuing to probe the blaze and asked any witnesses to come forward.
The force asked anyone with any information which could help them to get in touch. Call 101, quoting incident 761 of 5 August or message them using Live Chat.
