Chicago police said the fire began just before 3:30 a.m. on Hoyne near Waveland. No one was seriously injured.Victorine said investigators went door-to-door, telling neighbors the individual captured in multiple surveillance videos may be linked tat least a dozen other arson attacks by igniting fall decorations like small bales of hay.
"He said this isn't the first. It's been several attacks already on people, businesses in the 47th Ward," said Victorine."You're dealing with lives so that's all I can say. I hope they catch him," he said.Copyright © 2023 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
