Police Release Arson Suspect Descriptions

Windsor police are looking for two men who were seen acting suspiciously outside an Erie St. cafe before it caught fire.

Police say a white man, about 5'6" with a moustache, was seen outside the building last Thursday morning when smoke was starting to come from inside.

Moments later, a black man, 5'7" with short dark hair, allegedly ran from inside the building with his pant leg on fire. He put it out and jumped into a black vehicle and the pair drove off.

Police say two people matching their description were seen outside the building a day earlier in an older red pick-up truck.

The fire last Thursday caused $500,000 damage.
