Police seek downtown arsonists
Police are looking for identification or information on these two jokers shown on surveillance video, trying to burn out a downtown restaurant.
Couple of things strike me. I’m amused that the genius splashing the gasoline around has a cigarette in his mouth. He’s lucky the fumes didn’t ignite around his face.
Also, this incident happened last April 1. I’ve noticed before that police often put out video feelers for identification months after an incident. Is there some legal reason for the delay? Wouldn’t people be more likely to clue into a situation if they saw the video sooner? Or is it just that cops only do this when other investigative avenues have failed?

Worst. Arsonists. Ever. That looked like about a half litre of fuel poured on what looks like a concrete and glass front entrance. What did they think would happen?

Could be just a warning message.

At the time, damage was estimated at several thousand dollars.

I’ve never heard updates about the giant fire on my block from this summer, as three of the buildings are slowly dissolving in the snow.
