Reward Of $2,500 Being Offered In Lake Harriet Arson
REWARD OF $2,500 BEING OFFERED IN LAKE HARRIET ARSON
Minneapolis Arson Squad investigators are seeking the help of the public in solving an August 2009 arson and property damage case at Lake Harriet in Southwest Minneapolis. Shortly before 6:00 A.M. on August 9th 2009, three white male juveniles were observed damaging sail boats moored at Lake Harriet. One boat was set afire and the three males left on bicycles southbound from the lake. Damage in the matter exceeds $20,000 dollars.
Early in 2010, a tipster to the City of Edina Crime-Stoppers line identified three possible suspects. Two are residents of the Linden Hills neighborhood and one lives in Bryn Mawr. All three declined to be interviewed by the police and evidence is insufficient to gain criminal charges at this time.
Arson investigators are hoping the anonymous tipster calls back and also believe that more people are aware of the suspects actions in this case. A reward of up to $2,500 dollars is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in this fire.
Call the Arson Hot Line at 1-800-723-2020 or Sgt. McKenna at 612-673-3389.
