used home surveillance to help police track down a suspect who is now in custody, according to court documents.
Investigators say the property owner tried to extinguish the flames but was unsuccessful and alerted the other residents to exit the home safely. No injuries were reported and the fire was contained.Video of the incident posted to social media and shared widely shows a man walking out of a home next door and tossing a firebomb through a window, then walking away. The 35-year-old suspect was later arrested and may also be linked to recent vandalism incidents involving Temple and SEPTA facilities.
Court documents say the owner of the home and another resident reviewed surveillance video from days before the incident that allegedly shows the suspect exiting the nextdoor property and leaving a cardboard box among a pile of trash at the intersection of North Cleveland and West Norris streets. Investigators were later contacted by a Temple University Police Detective, who noticed that the firebombing suspect was wearing similar clothes to a man accused of smashing the rear window of a vehicle on Carlisle Street days before the arson.
He also just handed consent to access that whenever too, sadly
Why would any parent send their child to Temple?
