Durham police have released surveillance footage of an alleged vehicle arson in Oshawa in an effort to get witnesses to come forward with information.

Around 2 a.m. on July 3, officers with the force's Central East Division responded to a call at a home in the Ritson Road North and Beatrice Street East area.

When officers arrived, a Chevrolet Cruze was engulfed in flames, while another vehicle parked in the driveway had its front tires slashed.

There were no injuries reported from the fire.

In the video, the suspect is seen approaching the vehicle, pouring accelerant on the vehicle and setting it on fire before fleeing the scene.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Durham police or Crime Stoppers.
