Security cameras recorded the arsonist at the store on Shoreline Parkway late Monday night. He used a “flammable accelerant” to burn a small bag of garbage and a cardboard box in a bin outside an exit door, San Rafael police Sgt. Justin Graham said.
The fire caused an estimated $2,500 in damage to the building, Graham said. The arsonist might have been injured by the flames.
The Police Department said anyone with potential information for investigators can call 415-485-3000 or submit it online at SRPD.org/tips.
“The suspect is considered dangerous and should not be approached,” the department said in an announcement about the fire.
