Niagara police say the arson occurred on Aug. 23 at the playground of Jacob Beam Public School, located at 4300 William Street. According to police, the fire was set near the playground equipment, and was soon extinguished by the Lincoln Fire Department. Police believe the fire was set soon after 10 a.m., with the estimated damage exceeding $50,000.
Police have not released any suspect descriptions but are looking to speak with two potential witnesses seen near the school around the time of the fire. The witnesses are described as young white women between the ages of 16 and 18. Police are looking for anyone who may be able to identify the females, who were seen entering a maroon-coloured sedan at the time of the fire.
