The Prince George’s County Arson Task Force, Fire Investigations Division of the Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are seeking assistance from the public in identifying two unknown suspects involved in an arson at a convenience store in the 6400 block of Auth Road in Camp Springs on Saturday, May 29, 2021.
The suspects were captured on surveillance camera using at least two incendiary devices, commonly known as “Molotov cocktails,” inside an occupied convenience store around 1:10 a.m., on Saturday, May 29, 2021. The store was operating and open to the public at the time of the incident. Two store employees were present when the suspects threw the devices while inside the store.
The same 7-Eleven convenience store in Camp Springs, Maryland, that was set ablaze with Molotov cocktails earlier this year was targeted again early Saturday morning, Prince George’s County Fire officials said.
