Windsor police are investigating a car fire they say is arson.
Police were called to a bar in the 2900 block of Seminole Street at 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 14.
The owner of a 2010 Lexus was working at the bar when he heard a loud noise outside. When he went outside, he discovered his car on fire.
A copy of the security footage shows what appears to be a man at the driver's side door just seconds before there is an explosion inside the car.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Windsor police arson squad at 519-255-6700, ext. 4333.
