Police are investigating a pair of suspicious dumpster fires in Victoria.

The fires were discovered early Friday morning in the 1200-block of Pandora Avenue.

Investigators are now asking the public for help in providing information about the incidents.

The fires were reported to police shortly after 2 a.m.

The Victoria Fire Department was already on scene and had extinguished both fires, which were close to one another, police said Friday.

One of the dumpsters was next to a multi-unit residential building. The fire caused some heat damage to the exterior of the building, police said.
