#2025-315317/Southwest Precinct/Third Watch/W2:

At 12:51 am on Oct.28, a suspect entered the front yard of a house located at the 4800 BLK of 42 Ave SW.

The suspect damaged the Complainants’s Halloween decorations.

The suspect then went to the South side of the property and grabbed additional Halloween decorations and started two separate fires.

A witness saw the fires and confronted the suspect who fled on foot. The witness and another neighbor used fire extinguishers to put the fire out.

SFD responded and cleared the scene. SPD wasn’t notified until the complainant called back to report that she believes she saw the same suspect near her house. SPD responded and conducted an area search. The suspect wasn’t located. FM5 wasn’t notified earlier.

Arson and Bomb Squad was notified about the incident. Officers recovered video that showed the suspect intentionally lighting the fire.
