We welcome back Investigators Strohm and McCulloch as they seek public assistance to solve a two-year-old arson case at an auto business in Santa Ana. Initial investigation revealed suspicious circumstances like an unlocked door and a car filled with tools, leading to the discovery of an acetone can and an alert from a K-9 unit in the heavily damaged office, the suspected origin of the fire. Subsequent investigation, including video evidence showing the suspect pouring liquid and brandishing a firearm, confirmed the arson. This time, OCFA Fire Investigators need your help solving this crime. Think you recognize the suspect? Submit a time to the OCFA Investigations Line (949) 560-0665 or to keep your tip anonymous, call OC Crime Stoppers (855) TIP-OCCS.
