Calgary police are asking the public for help identifying a man they believe is responsible for deliberately setting fire to a residential property in Varsity last week.
At about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 18, police said an unknown man was captured on surveillance video setting fire to a shed behind a home in the 1100 block of Varsity Estates Drive N.W.
The fire spread to the home, where the residents were sleeping at the time.
Police said the homeowners were able to safely make it out of the house.
The Calgary Police Service spoke to several witnesses and reviewed CCTV from the area and are now looking for the suspect, who officers also believe may have committed a car prowling in the area before setting the fire.
