Police seeking information in possible serial arsons

Bloomington police are searching for a man shown in surveillance footage at the Winston-Thomas Sewage Treatment Plant on Gordon Pike, the site of at least three arsons since Aug. 6.

Fires were reported Aug. 6, 19 and 31, according to police logs.

Bloomington Police Department Detective Sgt. John Kovach said the fact the man is shown in the footage is not necessarily indicative that he is a suspect, but he may have helpful information that can be used in obtaining a lead in the case.

Motion cameras were installed at the old plant in an effort to identify trespassers on the private property. The property is now used by the city as a storage area.

The fires damaged a number of construction tubes and a limestone building — the construction tubes were damaged in the Aug. 6 blaze and the building was reported engulfed in flames on Aug. 31.

Bloomington Fire Department officials determined all three incidents were arson, Kovach said.
