Police have released a CCTV image as they continue to investigate several suspected arson attacks at a Wallsend property earlier this year.
Newcastle detectives began their inquiry after three separate alleged arson attacks at a home on Metcalfe Street, Wallsend, on June 24, July 18 and July 30.
The fires caused minor damage to the front and side of the home as well as the carport and a vehicle.
An elderly woman was inside the home at the time of all three incidents, but she was uninjured.
As investigators continue their inquiries, police have released an image of a man who may be able to assist with their investigation.
He's described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander in appearance, between 170cm-180cm tall, with a solid build and facial hair.
Anyone with information which could assist detectives is urged to contact Newcastle Police Station or to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
