Police release images of three arson suspects in hopes of identifying them

Edmonton Police Service is seeking the public’s assistance in locating three suspects believed to be involved in an arson in Edmonton last month.

According to a release from EPS, “on Thursday, March 12, 2020, at approximately 6 am, three males reportedly attended a gas station in the area of 111 Avenue and 124 Street and used a red jerry can to purchase several litres of fuel.”

“The males then reportedly crossed 111 Avenue southbound, used the fuel to light a multi-unit residence on fire and fled the area on foot.”
