Police are seeking to identify a suspect after a break and enter was reported at a comedy club in Richmond Hill, Ont.
York Regional Police said on Aug. 22 at around 11 a.m., police were called to the club on York Boulevard near East Beaver Creek Road for reports of a break and enter and attempted arson.
“When officers arrived on scene, they found the front doors of the business had been smashed open,” police said in a news release. “The suspect poured an unknown accelerant over tables and then ignited it, causing damage in the business.”
The force released video footage of the incident that also appears to show an unknown suspect pouring an unknown liquid on the table and around the business.
