Two people allegedly seen trespassing on a property in Rockwood in the aftermath of a suspicious fire are not considered suspects, police say.
Wellington County OPP had released a surveillance photo of the pair Tuesday morning, saying they wanted to talk to them about the July 20 fire on Main Street.
They said later in the day that they had identified the people in question, and do not consider them suspects in the case. Both are under the age of 18.
There have been approximately 25 unsolved suspicious fires in Wellington County over the past year, primarily around Guelph/Eramosa and Puslinch.
Five fires broke out within a 24-hour period on July 20, including the one on Main Street – which was the first fire of the series to take place in an urban centre.
Police are looking into whether the Main Street fire was set by the same person or people as any of the others.
