Vancouver Police are hoping someone recognizes surveillance photos of an arson suspect.
Police say that on October 10, a man was seen setting fire to the front door of a house on Commercial Drive near East 38th Avenue before running away.
The resident, a 68-year-old man, managed to escape from the rear of the home. He was taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. Due to the incident, the resident has since had to relocate.
The blaze caused superficial damage to the front of the home. Police believe that an accelerant was used to help start the fire.
Police say the suspect is white, in his 20s or 30s, and was wearing a blue hoodie, designer jeans, white runners and black and red gloves at the time of the incident.
An unknown vehicle that may be connected with the incident is also pictured.
Anyone with information is asked to call arson investigators at (604) 717-2541.
