Police say they have video from the Hasty Market at Bayview and Moore Aves which shows a suspect, a person who police will want to find and try to connect to the fires in Bennington Heights overnight. The individual is a said to be in his 40s and wearing yellow shoes. He smashed the windows of the corner store and took unspecified items. This all took place in a similar period to the 3.a.m fires in the nearby neighborhoods. There was an especially harrowing experience for a family whose car sat close to the house in the driveway. The fire scorched the front of the home and threatened to burn it down. Family members awoke as clocks showed 3.03 a.m. and gathered up three small children to escape. It appears the cars were unlocked, a sign of the sense of security among those who live there. Police said they do not believe the arsonist used an accelerant such as gasoline. This is remarkable given the aggressive fires experienced. The fire department had the flames out by about 3.30 a.m. Late today police on bicycles were going door to door to find video tape where it existed. Twitter photos show Audi car on fire and police cyclists preparing to canvas for video. Rampage destroys cars Cops swarm Hasty Market Hasty Market video shows a suspect in fires
