A $2,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to an arrest in a series of arson cases that have plagued City Heights, San Diego investigators announced Friday.
Over the past month, the Mid-City community has endured more than a dozen small fires intentionally set in dumpsters, alleyways, trash cans, beds of pickup trucks and flatbed trailers.
Most recently, someone set fire to two mattresses in an alley near an apartment building. Half an hour later, a fire was set inside a nearby dumpster.
Investigators from the Metro Arson Strike Team (MAST) are still trying to determine who IS responsible for the arson series.
Officials released this list of the fires, in order, and their locations:
