Cops were called just before 4 a.m. on Wednesday to a fire in the Eastern and Knox Aves. area, near Queen and Leslie Sts.

Two men broke the front window of a business with a rock.

Security footage shows them using an accelerant from bottles and a jerry can “to deliberately set a fire, causing significant damage to the interior of the building,” police said in a release Friday.

The pair then fled in a small, black, square-backed SUV.

They are described as 20 to 30 years old with slim builds, and were wearing black hoodies, sweatpants and sneakers.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-5500 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
