Calgary police have released surveillance footage of two suspects leaving the scene of a car fire in the community of Ogden earlier this month.

Firefighters were called to a home in the 7600 block of 25 Street S.E. at around 5:15 a.m. on Sept. 6, 2016.

When they arrived, crews found a 1977 Pontiac Firebird in the driveway of a home engulfed in flames. The fire was quickly extinguished and no injuries were reported.

CCTV video from a neighbouring home shows two men running from the area, one of whom appears to have his arm on fire.

“It is believed he would have burned his clothing and sustained burns to his left arm,” police said in a news release. “He may have singed the hair on the side of his head and face and may also have burns on his face and hands.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the Calgary Police Service non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or contact Crime Stoppers.
