Provincial police are looking for suspects after an intentionally set fire destroyed thousands of dollars worth of equipment on Sunday.

Middlesex OPP and the Thames Centre Fire Department were called to a commercial property on Hamilton Rd. near Putnam just after 8am.

Investigators say the business had been broken into and a fire had been set, which destroyed two loaders, a large tanker, and a pickup truck.

 

Because of a diesel fuel leak, the Ministry of the Environment was notified.

Police are still investigating.
