Peel police are appealing to the public for help in locating a man suspected of mischief after allegedly starting a small fire in his basement apartment in Mississauga.

Police are attempting to locate Maurice Miles in connection with the incident. He is described as a 5’10” black male who is approximately 150 pounds. He has a slim build and was last seen near his home in the McLaughlin and Matheson Road area in Mississauga. He was last seen wearing a black puffy Raiders jacket and blue jeans.
