LAWRENCE (CBS) -- Police are asking for help finding a car and driver that may be connected to the weekend's nightclub fire.

Police are searching for a four-door Honda or Toyota Camry that could be connected with a suspect they say they have video of pouring gasoline behind the Attika Nightclub on Sunday night just before a fire tore through the club. Officials say 100 people were inside the club at the time of the fire, but none were hurt.

According to a police report, video captured a suspect driving up to the club at 1 Mill St. at about 8 p.m. Sunday and pouring gasoline on the back of the club. The club owner noticed the activity on the surveillance monitor and rushed outside to extinguish the flames.

Police believe the car may be tied to a suspect in the case. Anyone with information is asked to call Lawrence Police at 978-794-5900.
