Police Search For Flamethrower-Wielding Arsonist Who Torched Minneapolis Paper Plant
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minneapolis police need help finding an arsonist armed with a flamethrower.
Surveillance video shows someone using what police believe to be a modified garden-style torch to set fire to bales of recycled paper outside of Pioneer Industries in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood last month. The company says the fire caused $10,000 in damage.
Someone saw three men with a similar flamethrower in the area earlier that day. There are described as white men in their 20s or 30s.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
