Police are searching for a man who they allege is linked to a suspicious fire that destroyed a house in North Lyneham earlier this year.
ACT Fire and Rescue and police received the call about a house fire on Cossington Smith Crescent in North Lyneham just before 3am on March 26.
Police deemed the fire suspicious and have since been investigating the incident.
The damage has been estimated to be about $700,000.
On Monday, Police released a face-fit image of a man identified as a person allegedly of interest in the investigation.
Police said the man appeared Caucasian, in his 40s, with a fair complexion, short brown hair, and brown eyes.
ACT Policing Detective Acting Inspector Matt Innes said the fire had caused significant emotional and financial hardship to the home owners.
"The fire completely destroyed this house, causing approximately $700,000 worth of damage," he said.
