VIDEO: A man placed incendiary devices outside a Maryland fire station several times recently, Prince George’s County police said.
The suspect hit Station 805 in Capitol Heights three times in the past few months, police said.
He walks up to the station and places what authorities call improvised incendiary devices similar to Molotov cocktails, investigators said. One was put in the mailbox. On Aug. 13, he struck at 8 a.m.
“Prince George’s County fire department’s bomb squad responded, rendered the devices safe and recovered them for evidence,” said Caroll Spriggs of Prince George’s County Fire and EMS.
Authorities said they’re worried someone could get hurt. “God forbid one of our young people get ahold of one of these devices and become harmed,” Prince George’s County Bureau of Homeland Security Deputy Chief James McCreary said.
Police released photos of the suspect from a Metro station. His distinctive Members Only jacket is adorned with Tom and Jerry cartoon characters.
