Arson Investigation Ongoing

Erie Police Department Detectives urge anyone who has information about the arson committed recently in Erie to submit tips directly to investigators. In newly received video footage, the persons of interest depicted are near the 900 block of Weston Circle.

This view was captured in full color, and contrary to what was previously believed to be black hoodies with infrared video, investigators believe the hoodies to be white or grey.

Arson is a serious crime. It can injure people, destroy property, and destabilize neighborhoods.

When fire-setting involves juveniles, early intervention is critical. In addition, young arsonists often benefit from professional help to communicate and deal with anger or trauma in less dangerous ways.

Tips may be submitted to Detective Sergeant Robert Vesco at rvesco@erieco.gov or Detective Shannon Crow scrow@erieco.gov, or 303-926-2827.
