Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying three men believed to have been involved in starting a vehicle fire on May 11 in northeast Calgary.

At around 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 11, three men were captured on security footage, parking a 2015 black Jeep Cherokee in an alley in the 500 block of 10th Avenue N.E., in the community of Renfrew, and lighting it on fire.

The footage shows the suspects running from the scene. They ran east in the alley, north on Fifth Street N.E. and then east on 10th Avenue N.E.

The Calgary Fire Department was able to put out the flames, but the fire caused significant damage to the car and fence.
