Police are seeking the public's help to identify a man captured on CCTV following a suspected arson at Westfield Manukau two months ago.

The incident occurred just after 11am on Friday july 18 when a fire was lit inside the mall's toilets.

The blaze caused "extensive damage" to the facilities and caused the shopping centre to be evacuated.

Police believed the man pictured in the CCTV images could assist with inquiries.

"Anyone who recognises this man or who has information about this incident is asked to contact police," a spokesperson said.
