CCTV released after alleged Civic arson

A man allegedly set fire to a business in Civic after smashing a window and pouring an accelerant inside late last year.

Police say the incident happened about 5am on November 13 at the corner of Marcus Clarke Street and Farrell Place.

No one was inside the business at the time and no injuries were reported.

Investigators recovered an item at the scene and say forensic testing has produced a DNA profile.

Police have now released CCTV footage of the incident.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police via Crime Stoppers ACT website.
