$5K Reward For Info On Girard Subway Stop Fire
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The feds are putting up a $5,000 reward to track down whoever set a fire earlier this week at a Broad Street subway stop.
It looks like a prank. Someone set a backpack on fire Tuesday afternoon at about 2 p.m. on the southbound platform of the Girard Avenue station. It caused more than $25,000 in damage and had the potential to harm, maybe even kill people waiting for a train.
Steve Bartholomew is with the local branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which is putting up the reward money. "It was in the area of the passenger platform where passengers may have visually seen something," Bartholomew said.
You're asked to call ATF, Philadelphia Police, or SEPTA if you can help in their investigation.
