POLICE SEEK TO ID PAIR IN ARSON PROBE

WINNIPEG Police Service detectives are asking the public to help them identify two people of interest in a North Point Douglas arson investigation.

The fire in a one-and-a-half storey house, on the 0-100 block of Granville Street early on Sept. 28, sent one person to hospital.

On Friday, police put out a photograph of two people, who appear to be youths or young adults, wanted in connection to the fire investigation.

Firefighters raced to the blaze at around 6 a.m. that day and found bystanders trying to rescue the resident from the home, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said previously.

Firefighters were able to pull the person through a window, who was taken to hospital in stable condition. A bystander was treated at the scene for a minor injury.

Police ask anyone with information, or potentially relevant dashcam, security or cellphone video from around the time of the incident, to call major crimes detectives at 204-986-2426 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 204-786-8477.
