Suffolk Fire Marshal H.J. Parker asks your help to find the
persons responsible for setting several fires.
On Aug. 6, three fires were started in the lot of Butler Paper
Co., in the 300 block of Newport St. They broke out in three
trailers used to store paper products, and the suspects attempted to
set fire to one of the truck cabs.
The company has had problems in the past with groups of younger
males hanging around and playing on the property, and a large group
was seen on the property the day of the fires.
If you have information concerning the fires, call Suffolk Crime
Line at 539-1222. Information leading to an arrest may bring a cash
reward of up to $1,000.
Callers to Crime Line do not have to give their names or testify
in court on the information provided.
Butler Paper is offering an additional reward for information
leading to an arrest.
