Multiple homes under construction were set ablaze in Brampton in a series of arsons last month that left two firefighters injured, police say.
Peel Regional Police said in a news release Friday that between July 6 and July 24, between 1:30 a.m. and 3 a.m., multiple homes under constructions were intentionally set on fire.
All of the homes were damaged extensively, police said, adding that they were unoccupied.
Two Brampton firefighters suffered non-life-threatening injuries while battling the blazes, police said.
Police also released a brief surveillance video Friday, which they say shows a suspect entering a home, setting it on fire and then running away.
The suspect was described as wearing a black hooded jacket, gloves, pants, white shoes and was carrying a blue bag.
