OCALA, Fla. - Ocala police say they are looking for a woman who committed arson inside a Macy’s Tuesday morning.

Officers said the woman entered the department store at the Paddock Mall shortly after 10 a.m. and walked around the store for approximately 45 minutes.

Police said at some point the woman set fire to a rack of underwear.

“It was a bunch of smoke rolling out and people were walking – running outside,” said Kortnee Eubanks, who was in the store at the time.

“The [Macy’s] staff believe that they smelled gas, so we’re not sure if we tried to set the fire to other area and this was just the only area where she was successful. She was in the store for some time,” said Ocala Police spokesperson Meghan Shay.

No one was hurt by the flames.

A message on Paddock Mall’s website Tuesday afternoon said Macy’s will be closed for the remainder of the day.

“Officials say they still don’t know why the woman set the fire.”

Agreed. They will be wise to check their cameras for a large theft in another area.

A group came into our Walmart, loaded up three shopping carts, set fire to a display in the back of the store, when the alarm went off— they bolted out the door, they were caught the next day, charged with over 1 million dollars in damages, the fire set off the sprinklers and hosed down over half the store. They not only destroyed merchandise, they had to tear out the flooring and redo it.
