  • Victoria police looking for suspects in possible arson

Police in Victoria say they're looking for two women who may have seen the suspect or suspects in a possible arson over the weekend.

They say officers responded Saturday evening to reports of two fires inside a retail store, where staff used fire extinguishers to douse the initial flames.

A short time later, they say staff were alerted to a second, smaller fire that had been put out by a customer.

The incident happened around 8:30 p-m in the 18-hundred block of Store Street and police are asking anyone with information or security footage to come forward.
