The OPP report a bizarre arson investigation in Ingersoll, involving a suspect, his dog — and a musical instrument.
On Saturday night, witnesses reported seeing a man near a parking lot at King Street East and Water Street deliberately set a grassy area on fire.
They say the man in his 30's stuck around, and started playing a recorder.
Then he tried to light the grass on fire again.
The Ingersoll Fire Service had to be called out.
The OPP say the man was walking a small white dog at the time, and he may have been with a female, according to witnesses.
Police say the suspect is about 30-years old, 5-foot 8-inches tall, with a thin build, and short dark hair.
At the time he was wearing a dark t-shirt, with blue and white plaid shorts.
