Police are appealing for public assistance and continue to investigate two suspicious fires which occurred in Ararat last month, Victoria Police say.
The fires occurred at:
• An abandoned building at the corner of Lowe and Queen Streets, Ararat on Thursday 26 October about 7.30pm
• A house on Tuson Street, Ararat on Sunday 29 October about 7.15pm.
Investigators arrested a 15-year-old Ararat boy on Tuesday 14 November in relation the incident on 26 October; he received an official caution.
Police continue to investigate both incidents and are appealing for anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the vicinity if each incident to contact Crime Stoppers.
A third fire that occurred at an Ararat primary school, which had also been under investigation, has since been deemed non-suspicious.
