Police have released CCTV footage as part of an ongoing investigation into a series of suspicious fires in Andergrove earlier this year.
According to Queensland Police Service, the incidents occurred across January and February at a business on Celeber Road.
Emergency services were first called to the location about 4.40am on 13 January following reports of a fire at the rear of the building. The blaze was extinguished a short time later and a crime scene was declared at 5.40am.
Police said a second fire occurred at the same address several hours before it was reported at about 7.50am on 14 February. The fire had already extinguished by the time officers arrived.
Investigators believe two unknown people were seen in the area at the time, both wearing masks and gloves. One of the individuals was described as wearing a black and white checkered shirt.
A third fire was reported between 4.45am and 6am on 18 February at the same location. The blaze was extinguished shortly after emergency services arrived, causing minor damage to the building.
Police said two unknown people were seen near the fire before running towards Parkview Court.
A fourth incident occurred between 11.50pm on 27 February and 12.10am on 28 February. During this event, the fire spread to neighbouring businesses before being brought under control by emergency crews.
No one was physically injured in any of the incidents.
Police are appealing to anyone who may have information or relevant CCTV or dashcam footage to come forward as investigations continue.
