Suspicious fire appeal, Pacific Pines

Detectives investigating a suspicious fire at a Pacific Pines sporting club last month have released images and CCTV of two people they believe may be able to assist them with their inquiries.
Around 8.32pm on Friday June 29, two unidentified males approached the McAuley Parade building and poured a liquid on the ground.
One of them then ignited it with a lighter and set fire to the building.
The fire was extinguished but the property sustained moderate damage.
Investigations indicate the pair may have superficial burns to their face and hands and any exposed hair would have been singed or burnt.
It is also believed one of the males was using a mobile phone to film the incident.
Anyone who may recognise those depicted in the images or footage is urged to contact police.
