Group Offers Reward to Catch Virginia Beach Arsonist

A $5,000 reward is being offered as the search continues for whoever set eight fires in a Virginia Beach neighborhood.

Sunday’s arson outbreak damaged five homes and injured one person. Investigators say most of the fires were set in trash cans or recycling bins.

The Virginia Beach Fire Department says the Virginia Chapter of the International Association of Arson Investigators is offering the reward for information leading to an arrest or indictment.
