Authorities in San Francisco identified a man believed to be responsible for a series of arson fires around the city.

The arsonist has been lighting fires in the past month at construction sites, in occupied buildings and in garbage cans and dumpsters in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood, police said.

Police said suspect could be responsible for as many as four arson fires over the weekend, and is wanted in connection with a Thursday-night car fire at a parking garage at Rincon Plaza between Mission and Howard streets near the Embarcadero.

On Tuesday, the San Francisco Police Department released several photos (above) and video (below) of the possible arsonist while requesting the public’s help in tracking him down.

The man is seen wearing a tan shirt and a black San Francisco Giants cap. In another photo, the man wears a blue-green checkered shirt while being caught on video entering an undisclosed building.

Police did not release any other information about the suspect and are still investigating the case.
