Police are asking the public for help identifying a man they want to talk to as part of their investigation into a series of fires in north Waterloo.
They have released security footage showing the man on a bicycle. The footage was taken near Toll Gate and Glen Forrest boulevards in Waterloo. Its timestamp footage suggests it was taken early on the morning of July 30.
That same morning, a shed at an auto shop in the Toll Gate area was destroyed in a suspicious fire.
There have been a total of eight suspicious fires around Waterloo’s Lakeshore Village, Lakeshore North and Conservation Meadows neighbourhoods over the past month.
