Authorities are offering a $1,000 reward for information about the person responsible for an arson fire Tuesday in west suburban Naperville.

A restroom at Commissioner’s Park East, 3704 W. 111th St. in Naperville, was damaged by fire between 8:30 and 9:58 a.m., according to a statement from Naperville police.

The restroom was unoccupied at the time of the fire, although surveillance footage showed two people approaching the restroom and then walking away just before the fire was discovered, police said.

One of the people was wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, police said. The other was wearing a dark, possibly gray top with blue jeans and white gym shoes. Police released a surveillance photo showing them exiting the restroom.
