Authorities are investigating a fire at a Northeast Philadelphia mosque over the weekend as arson.
It happened around 2 a.m. Sunday at the Northeast Philadelphia Islamic Center along Tyson Avenue, right off Castor Avenue.
According to video posted by CAIR-Philadelphia, a man seems to walk up to the building, light a bag, and throw it inside the building, sparking the flames.
No one was inside the mosque at the time, and no injuries were reported, but the building was significantly damaged.
Officials are offering a $2,500 reward for any information leading to an arrest and conviction.
They are also running an online fundraiser to help fix the damage.
