Police are looking for three people who set a fire inside a Walmart store in Burlington County.

Evesham Township police said the trio - two women and one man - entered the store at about 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 1, took a "fire puck" matchless fire-starter from a shelf and used it to light a blaze.

The group started the fire on the floor of an aisle that contained many highly-combustible products, police said, and then left the store.

Store workers quickly extinguished the fire and no one was injured, police said.

Authorities on Monday released surveillance images of the trio in the store at 150 E. Route 70.
