Firefighters worked to extinguish fires in two locations outside of a store, police said. The store was closed at the time and no injuries were reported.

Police believe the fires were deliberately set.

They’re now looking for a male suspect, who was reportedly wearing a white baseball cap, a black jacket, cuffed blue jeans and black shoes.

“Anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity, or anyone with a video recording that captured any suspicious activity in the area, is asked to please come forward,” police said.
