Victoria police are on the lookout for a suspect in a pair of arsons last month.
According to police, the first fire broke out in a trash bin in the 900-block of Yates Street around 1:40 a.m. on Sept. 17.
About an hour and a half later, firefighters were called to a dumpster fire in the 1100-block of Grant Street.
Both fires were extinguished, and no one was hurt in either.
