Two boys aged 12 and 14 are arrested on suspicion of arson following a major fire in Nottingham city centre. Police say the investigation is underway after a large-scale blaze that causes disruption in the city.

Reports identify the affected site as the Escobar building, a Grade II listed property. While all outlets describe the arrest of the two boys and the scale of the fire, they focus on different aspects of the incident. BBC and other coverage emphasize the building’s listed status and the resulting disruption to roads, while the broader reporting highlights that city-centre access is affected and that detectives are investigating the cause.

All accounts agree that the arrests are linked to suspected arson connected to the fire, and that authorities are treating the incident as an ongoing investigation rather than a closed matter.
