DELANO, Calif. (KABC) -- A Kern County man is in custody after he was allegedly caught on video throwing a Molotov cocktail at some parked cars.
Delano police say the video helped them find the suspected arsonist they believe is responsible for setting multiple fires in the downtown Delano area last month.
In the most recent incident, on the afternoon of April 26 video captured a man on a bicycle lighting and throwing an incendiary device at two parked cars, setting a fire in the outdoor parking lot.
Firefighters put out the flames and police were able to obtain video helping them identify the suspect, and linking him to several other incidents.
The suspect, 23-year-old Alejandro Valdivia Duran, was arrested at his home this week.
He has been booked for arson, burglary and criminal threats.
Police say he is also connected to a burglary involving several suspects at a downtown Delano business in April in which the suspects stole various items and then returned and set fire to the business. They also linked him to an arson fire set to a trash bin at a local park.
I think Antifa would probably find him useful up in Portland, Oregon...
Some people just dont like being effed with.
Had a neighbor years ago torch the parking under an apartment building across the street. They’d evicted him and he was unhappy about it.
But if he’s fighting Fascism, can you really blame him?
Burn his bicycle. With him on it.
If this was a carbon footprint protest, he's given up all his street cred.
Yup. Wanna end this crap? Put them in the ground... after torture. Deterrence has to be uncomfortable.
California,
Up in smoke.
.
Sad.
It is sometimes tough to figure out how people will react...
Betcha he'll be out in time to start a couple of summer wildfires.
If the arsonist’s not a conservative
and IF the cars don’t belong to Washington’s ‘elites’
then the press won’t care, liberals, commies and progressives won’t care and NeverTrumpers won’t care either.
Ditto for murdering, raping, and destroying cities. It only matters if it effects DC ‘elites’... and if it’s done by conservatives. Other than that - the ‘swells’ don’t give a damn.
