Two Men Sought For Questioning in Highland Playground Arson Case

The sheriff's department asked for the public's help Tuesday to find a pair of men wanted for questioning for an arson case at a Highland school playground.

According to a statement issued Tuesday afternoon, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department was able to obtain surveillance footage following the blaze that started Sunday at Arroyo Verde Elementary School, which is part of the Redlands Unified School District.


The fire, which started underneath a playground climbing structure, caused about $2,000 in damages, according to the agency.

"The Highland Fire Department was able to contain the fire and extinguish the flames; however the fire damaged the playground climbing structure," sheriff's officials reported.

After reviewing surveillance footage captured during the fire, deputies say they want to question two men.  They can be seen in the photograph attached to this article.
