St. Cloud police are investigating a suspected arson at the COP House on St. Cloud's south side that took place around 3 a.m. Wednesday, said Assistant Police Chief Jeffrey Oxton on Friday morning. "We do believe it was intentionally set," Oxton said. The police department released photos of suspects, one carrying a gas can, from what appears to be a surveillance camera. "It appears two suspects (one carrying a gas can) pour a flammable liquid on the house and light it on fire," according to a Friday afternoon press release. "The fire was extinguished but caused damage to the exterior of the house." The COP House — the St. Cloud Rotary Richard C. Wilson Community OutPost — is a home base for officers in the area and also houses Stearns County Social Services, space for dental and health visits, after-school programming and ambulance services.
