STATE FIRE MARSHALS OFFICE IS INVESTIGATING ARSONS IN SALISBURY
Wicomico County, MD - Deputy State Fire Marshals are investigating a series of attempted arsons at multiple addresses in Salisbury early Wednesday morning.
Just after 3:00 a.m., the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office responded to four homes in the 1000 block of Tuscola Avenue and one in the 800 block of Oneida Avenue for reports of attempted arson at each home. Sheriff's deputies requested the Office of the State Fire Marshal to assist, and investigators discovered destructive devices, commonly called "Molotov cocktails" placed at the front doors of each residence.
Investigators were able to obtain video footage from a doorbell camera, showing individuals placing the incendiary devices at each of the residence's front doors.
Deputy State Fire Marshals concluded the device failed to function as intended, resulting in only minor fire damage.
The suspects are believed to be two black males. One wears dark pants and a white shirt with a horse or cow printed on the front, and the other wears dark pants and a Fortnite shirt.
The investigation is active, and the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office is assisting due to a recent homicide that occurred in the vicinity of these incidents.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Lower Eastern Regional Office at 410-713-3780.
