Halifax Regional Police investigate suspicious fire
A red four-door sedan was seen travelling away from the scene
Halifax Regional Police say they're investigating a suspicious fire that broke out near the Spring Garden Road shopping district early Thursday morning.
In a news release, Sgt. Scott MacDonald said officers and members of Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency responded to the fire at 5545 Clyde St. in Halifax at 1:55 a.m.
The release said a red four-door sedan was seen travelling away from the scene toward South Park Street. MacDonald described it as a "vehicle of interest."
The fire was quickly extinguished and nobody was injured, as the businesses at the address were closed at the time.
Police spokesperson Const. John MacLeod said in an email that the fire was deemed suspicious because "a person was seen throwing an object into the business just prior to the fire starting."
MacLeod would not confirm which business the object was thrown into.
On Thursday morning, a window below Multi Culture Cuts Barbershop was smashed out and caution tape surrounded the area.
