Arson is suspected, the police chief confirmed. “We’re looking for two juveniles between the ages of 10 and 13,” Chavez said.
Police said several smaller arsons have been reported in recent weeks and have not ruled out the possibility that of all the incidents are connected. “Anybody that provides information that helps us catch these guys could get a reward,” Chavez said.
