PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Police are looking to identify a suspect wanted in connection to two fires that broke out at a Dollar Tree store earlier this month.
Police say the first fire, a dumpster fire, was reported on March 9 at 6101 Frankford Ave. Then, three days later, on March 12, a second fire erupted and completely destroyed the store.
Police have released video that shows the March 9 dumpster fire and the person responsible for it. The suspect is seen riding a bike. He is wearing dark-colored clothing and a face mask and hanging around outside the store for about an hour. He then can be seen setting the dumpster on fire and riding away.
