An arsonist was reportedly seen on video using a Molotov cocktail in an attempt to set fire to a vacant building in downtown Prince Albert.

On two occasions, the arsonist threw a burning bottle at the same vacant building.
All of the incidents have happened at night.
Police said the arson attempts are reckless and dangerous, with the potential to cause major damage or even fatal harm to people.
