Now police are asking the public to help identify a Casa Linda burglary suspect who they say might also have started the fire.

“After Dallas Fire Rescue fought the fire, a burglary offense was discovered,” police announced yesterday. “Arson investigators reviewed surveillance video from an adjoining business and noticed a suspect along with the vehicle he was driving. The video shows him breaking in and removing property from the business without permission. Shortly after the suspect left the location the structure fire occurred.”
