Toronto police are requesting the public’s help in identifying a suspect in connection with an arson investigation near Coxwell and Cosburn Avenues.

In a news release issued Thursday, police say officers responded to a fire call shortly after 1:00 a.m. on Feb. 27. That’s where officials say a suspect allegedly set fire to a car in a residential parking garage using an accelerant.

After the incident, police say the suspect fled the scene on a “motorcycle or e-bike.”

Police did not release a physical description of the suspect but noted they were wearing a “distinctive looking helmet.”

Police have released images and are asking anyone with information to come forward to police or Crime Stoppers.
