Police are searching for a 23-year-old woman who has breached the conditions of her bail in connection with an arson investigation.

Investigators allege Dustina Perez and another woman went to an apartment building in the area of Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue East in the early morning hours of June 18 and set fire to a door of one of the units. The pair then fled the scene.

Two occupants of the apartment were not injured.

Perez was arrested on June 27 and charged with several arson-related offences. She was released on bail with conditions, which police say she breached on Friday.

Police say they have been unable to locate Perez and are asking anyone with information to contact them.

The second woman, 34-year-old Andrea Jameer, was arrested back on June 30 and charged with similar arson-related offences.
