It took four arson attempts to cause a serious fire to The Burger’s Pries on The Queensway.
It took arson suspects four attempts and more than a month to torch Burger’s Priest fast food restaurant on The Queensway.
Police said the suspects attempted four times to burn the 1599 The Queensway, near Atomic Avenue, eatery from June 7 to July 15.
In three instances the suspects managed to gain entry into the business by smashing a window and tried to set the inside on fire with an accelerant, believed to be gasoline.
“The same restaurant establishment was involved in each incident,” police said. ”Investigators believe the incidents are related.”
Witness said someone had it in against the Burger’s Priest and tried to burn the eatery down.
The incidents are being investigated and descriptions of the wanted men have been issued.
Police said they were called for the most recent fire on July 15, around 3:20 a.m.
“A suspect broke into a restaurant and poured a liquid accelerant,” according to police. “The accelerant was ignited, causing significant damage by fire inside the restaurant.”
Police and firefighters were summoned days before on July 12, at about 4 a.m., for another fire call.
Police are hunting a number of suspects who broke into the eatery and set fires to a flammable substance, believed to be gasoline.
“Two suspects attended the area of the restaurant,” officials said. “One suspect poured an accelerant and caused minor fire damage to the outside of the restaurant.”
Emergency workers were again called on June 7, where suspects broke in through a window to enter and set a fire, which didn’t spread that much.
A few days after on July 9, two suspects went to the side door of the restaurant at 2 a.m., poured an accelerant and caused minor fire damage to an outdoor vestibule.
A list of suspects has been released with their descriptions by police.
Police are investigating to determine if there is some sort of fast food tensions taking place between fast-food restaurants.
