NORTH HURON – Police suspect two brush fires and a vehicle fire in Blyth were deliberately set.
Shortly after 11 p.m. on July 3, Huron OPP officers and Blyth fire fighters were called after a Dodge Durango parked on Queen Street in Blyth was set afire. Paramedics who were passing by extinguished the fire, which caused extensive damage to the vehicle.
Witnesses saw two suspects running from the scene, according to a press release issued by police today.
Police also discovered two other fires were set brush piles located at the Blyth sewage plant on North Street at an earlier time. One of the fires took place overnight on June 26 and the other took place March 25.
Investigators are asking for the public’s help to identify the culprits responsible for these fires. Investigators believe two males, possibly in their early teens are responsible. Both are described as being approximately 5’ 6”, with average size builds.
