Prescott Valley police say arson suspect also linked to graffiti in the area

PRESCOTT VALLEY, AZ (AZFamily)— Prescott Valley Police said on Tuesday a suspect is behind multiple fires and vandalism is now linked to a string of graffiti in the area last month.

Police say he is responsible for the graffiti that appeared near the Harkins Theater, In The Game amusement center, and Buffalo Wild Wings.

Also on Tuesday, police released new surveillance video that appears to show the same suspect walking around near the Harkins Theater on March 10. Like in other videos previously released, he is seen on camera wearing all-black clothing.

Investigators believe he is responsible for the Legado Luxury Apartment complex fire and Bradshaw Mountain High School vandalism.

The video comes after several law enforcement agencies offered rewards up to $45,000 for any information leading to the suspect’s arrest.

No one has been injured in these crimes, but the damages from the vandalism and fires are over $60 million.

Police urge any businesses and residents in the area and neighborhoods west of Pine View to review surveillance camera footage from the beginning of March in hopes of getting more assistance and information to catch the suspect.

So far, police have said that the suspect is a man, and he was caught on camera at the high school wearing all-black clothing, a backpack and what appears to be a gas mask with a headlamp and camera.
