Arson suspect sought after multiple cars set ablaze in Halton Hills

Investigators are hoping the public can help identify a man who set multiple vehicles on fire in Halton Hills.

Shortly after 10:15 p.m. Monday, police received a 911 call about three parked cars that were on fire in front of GT Auto on Guelph St.

Surveillance video shows someone pouring what police believe to be gasoline on the vehicles before igniting a fire.

In the footage, the suspect appears to have lit his foot on fire and was last seen running west across the business towards Louisa St.

The fire was quickly put out and there was no damage to the business or surrounding structures.

Police are looking for a man who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, and black sweat pants.

Investigators have also released an image of a vehicle wanted in connection with the arson. It is described as a gold or silver, four-door sedan.

Anyone with information that could help with the investigation is asked to contact Det. Cst. Sorrell or Det. Maltar at 905-825-4747, ext. 2416
