Southlake Police are searching for an unidentified male who used fireworks to set fire to a Porta Potty in a construction area.
Police say it happened on November 18th at around 7:45 p.m., when a white or silver Ford F-150 pulled into a construction area at 1371 Brumlow Avenue. The truck had black rims, a hitch, a sunroof, and a hard black bed cover.
A white male in his late teens or early 20’s exited the passenger side door and sprinted to a Porta Potty next to a building.
Police say he lit some fireworks, tossed them in, and raced back to the truck.
The Porta Potty became engulfed in flames and sparkles as the truck sped off. Southlake Fire responded quickly after to put out the fire.
Police say the incident is not funny, but arson, a 2nd-degree felony. The fire damaged the building, a trailer, and the $5,000 Porta Potty. No one was hurt or killed.
If you recognize the person, police say please give crime analyst Diana Smith a call at 817-748-8915 or email at DSmith@ci.southlake.tx.us.
