Detectives from Bass Coast Crime Investigation Unit are investigating several suspicious fires at public toilets on the Cape Paterson foreshore last weekend.
Emergency services were called after a member of the public discovered damaged facilities on Surf Beach Road about 7am on Saturday 16 September.
It’s understood two people have set alight multiple amenities on along the Cape Paterson foreshore sometime between 12.40am and 4.20am on Saturday morning.
Detectives believe the unknown offenders set alight toilet paper to ignite the fire in the male, female and disabled facilities, causing significant damage.
Investigators have released CCTV and images of two people they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
The first person is wearing a jumper with what appears to be “LUYALTY” on the back, a cap, long pants and runners.
The second person is wearing a camouflage hooded jumper, long pants and slides.
The fire damage has caused the closure of the council owned public amenities along the foreshore leading into the peak holiday season.
Detectives are appealing for anyone in the area who may have CCTV or dash cam footage of the incident.
The investigation into the fire series remains ongoing.
We urge anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at
