London police have released surveillance camera images in the hopes of identifying two people as part of an investigation into a suspicious fire that occurred in late January in the downtown core.
Fire crews responded to the scene at a business in the 600 block of York Street near Adelaide Street for a report of a working fire around 1 a.m. on Jan. 26.
No injuries were reported in the blaze, which was extinguished soon after by firefighters and caused around $5,000 in damage.
Further investigation led police to deem the fire suspicious in nature, and the matter was turned over to the service’s street crime unit.
