CALGARY – Police are looking to the public for help identifying two men they believe may be connected to two incidents of arson in the city’s southwest.
In the first incident, it’s believed a man poured a flammable liquid on the back door of a business in the 1700 block of 11th Avenue S.W. and set it on fire. It happened around 1 a.m. on January 1st.
Investigators say two men later visited the same property around 3 a.m. on January 20th, at which point video surveillance appears to show them breaking into the property.
Investigators say a small fire was set inside the building, which burned out before spreading very far.
Although no one was injured, the two incidents together resulted in an estimated $100,000 in damage.
Police believe the business is being targeted, and have released CCTV photos of the suspects in the hopes of finding their identity.
The first suspect is described as a male with a slim build. He was seen wearing a camouflage jacket with a light-coloured hoodie underneath and a light-coloured toque.
The second suspect is described as a male, approximately 30-years-old and 5’10” in height, with a slim build and short receding hair. He was seen wearing a white hoodie.
The third suspect is described as a male, approximately 30-years-old and 6’1” in height, with a slim build and short hair. He was seen wearing a light-coloured baseball cap, black leather jacket, blue jeans and black shoes.
Anyone with information regarding these incidents, or the identity of any of the suspects is asked to call the Calgary Police Service at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers.
