Police Seek Suspect In Wyandotte Blaze

Windsor police are looking for a man who was seen fleeing an apartment building just before a fire broke out, causing around $120,000 in damages.

A man was seen leaving the building and walking north in an alley prior to the fire. He is described as a male white in his late 40s, around 5'8" tall, with a medium build, and he is balding with hair on the lower half of his head.
