ARSON INVESTIGATION  
Seeking the public’s assistance

LONDON, ON (November 8, 2024) – Members of the London Police Service (LPS) Street Crime Unit are seeking the public’s assistance after an early morning vehicle fire.

This morning at approximately 12:40 a.m., members of the LPS Uniformed Division responded to a vehicle on fire at a residence in the area of Commissioners Road East and Highland Heights which was extinguished with the assistance of the London Fire Department.

Investigators from the LPS Street Crime Unit reviewed video surveillance and learned two suspects pulled into the driveway of the residence shortly before the fire, then returned to the vehicle they arrived in and fled the area.

One suspect is described as wearing a blue sweater with white accents on the shoulders and chest, dark pants, a blue medical mask and carrying a small red gas can. The second suspect is described as wearing camo and dark coloured clothing along with a blue medical mask.

The suspect vehicle is described as an early model dark blue Buick Rendezvous with dark grey trim and a handicap sign on the passenger side of the windshield.

Investigators are asking any member of the public that may have been in the area of Commissioners Road East and Highland Heights between 11:30 p.m. and 12:45 a.m., who may have dash-cam, residential or business video surveillance that could assist with the investigation, to contact the London Police Service.

Photos of the suspect vehicle and suspects have been included in hopes the public can help to identify them.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information in relation to this incident is asked to call the London Police Service at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent in online anonymously to London Middlesex Crime Stoppers.
