Police in York Region have released a video of two suspects who intentionally set a pair of vehicles on fire in a residential neighbourhood in Vaughan over the weekend.
The minute-long video, which was recorded on March 22 at around 3 a.m., shows a dark-coloured SUV driving along a residential street. The driver is then seen reversing and stopping in front of the driveway of a home.
Two people wearing dark clothing and carrying a jerry can then exit the vehicle and walk towards a driveway.
