Waltham Arson $100K Reward: Video Shows Suspect
The 10-alarm fire wiped out an apartment complex that was nearing completing last year.

WALTHAM, MA — Police have released video of a suspect in last year's 10-alarm Cooper Street fire, and they are offering $100,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction. You can view the video, spliced together from several clips, here.
Five buildings in an apartment complex project that was nearing completion were wiped out following the 10-alarm blaze that began early one Sunday morning in July 2017.

Officials said after the fire was ruled arson that two rewards would be offered - one sponsored by the Property and Casualty Insurance Companies of Massachusetts for $5,000 and another of up to $100,000 dollars by the construction company for help leading to the arrest - and conviction - of those responsible for setting the fire.
