HIGHLAND, Ind. (CBS) — Police in Highland, Indiana on Wednesday released photos of a man and woman being sought after three small fires were set as a distraction for shoplifting at a Meijer store.(snip)
Shoppers roaming the aisles of the Meijer in Highland, Indiana were forced to evacuate Monday night – for those not one, but three fires that appeared to have been intentionally set throughout the grocery store.(snip)
As store employees and customers rushed to the toy aisle with the Nerf toys and other parts of the store to put out the fires, Highland police said the flames were used as a deliberate distraction for a few people to steal and walk out of the store with merchandise.
On Wednesday, police released surveillance photos of two suspects – a man and a woman – who were believed to be involved in the fires and thefts, along with a photo of a getaway car that is believed to be a silver Volvo XC90 sport-utility vehicle.
The Indiana State Fire Marshal’s office is also offering a reward of up to $5,000 for anyone who can provide information leading to the conviction of the suspect or suspects who set the fires.

Eskimos again.
Arson used to be a very serious offense.
It should be again.

Someone forgot to tell these two that we don’t enforce laws in America anymore, especially in hell holes like Chicago. So no reason to plan diversions or to be sneaky when committing crimes.
Should be three counts of arson and as many counts of recklessly endangering safety as there were customers and employees in the store at the time of the incident. All charges to run consecutive.
I knew it had to be the Amish.
Those E-e-vil White Supremacists causing all that trouble again in a perfectly done camouflage! (Sarc)
Lots of things used to be very serious offenses.
Exactly.
“Arson used to be a very serious offense.”
.
Looting also used to be serious. In fact they used to shoot th3m.
“Arson used to be a very serious offense.”
This is not just arson; this is also attempted mass murder.
The 13%.
