Arsonist Accidentally Sets Fire to … Himself
Authorities said people with information on the suspects involved in the video should call police.
An alleged arson attempt went awry, and police are looking for the suspects featured in the video. The CCTV footage shows a woman getting out of the vehicle and smashing a window of the building.
Video footage obtained by police shows a black female getting out of an early 2000 model white Ford Windstar van and shattering the window.
Man sets himself on fire. This is soon followed by a man who emerging out out of the auto, carrying a lit Molotov cocktail, an incendiary device with a bottle filled with flammable liquid. But when he throws it at the building some of the flammable liquid spills on him – and the left leg of his shorts bursts into flames.
He returns to the building and slowly pours the contents of another bottle on the fire.
Moments later, he returns into view, missing one sneaker, and throws a flaming sock into the air, which continues to smolder as he returns to the van.
