The suspect in the firebombing of the Border Force immigration centre in Dover on Sunday is a 66-year-old man from the High Wycombe area.
After petrol bombs were thrown at the centre, the suspect was discovered dead.
Today, Kent Police officers served a warrant at a property in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
Police said “two to three incendiary devices” were thrown at the centre by “a single suspect who arrived at the scene in a car”.
Emergency crews were called to the site in Kent shortly after 11.20 am on Sunday after the Reuters news agency – who had a photographer at the scene – reported that a man had thrown petrol bombs attached to fireworks at the centre.
The photographer captured the moment the man hurled the homemade bomb from the car window. The man was seen with a lighter in his hand as he threw the container toward the centre.
The agency reported that the man took his own life following the incident.
One witness named Brian Wood told Sky News he was about 200 metres away from the migrant centre and heard “three bangs” and saw smoke.
He added: “Then I heard the alarms going and people yelling and shouting.”
Kent Police said “two to three incendiary devices” were thrown at the centre by “a single suspect who arrived at the scene in a car”, with two people suffering minor injuries.
