Detectives have renewed their appeal for public assistance into two suspicious fires at the Garden City Mosque in 2015.

Investigators from the Toowoomba Criminal Investigation Branch believe the two fires, in January and April three years ago, are linked.

The first incident occurred on January 23 when an unknown person broke into the Mosque on West Street and lit a fire in a plastic bin which caused damage to the floor of the building.

The second incident occurred on April 17 when a window was smashed and a fire was started inside the building, causing significant internal damage.

Police have recently received information which leads investigators to believe that the person of interest for these offences remains living in the Toowoomba area.

As the two fires are believed to be linked it is understood the person of interest is believed to be of similar description and acting alone.

Police encourage members of the public to come forward with information as to the identity of this male.

There is also the possibility of a reward through the Arson Reward Scheme of up to $25,000 for providing information which leads to the conviction a person responsible for these offences.

Investigations are continuing.
