Virginia officials appeal for help as dozens of suspicious fires erupt

Thursday, March 21st, 2013 Fraud Property

With each new blaze that erupts in Virginia, the urgency to arrest a "group" of arsonists grows. At least 71 fires have occurred in Accomack County since November, the latest reported Monday. And in each case, whoever is responsible slips away into the night, unnoticed. Most of the blazes are discovered between 6 p.m. and midnight, many about two hours after they are lit, according to authorities. "It’s very worrisome," said Corinne Geller, a police spokeswoman. "We’ve been very fortunate that no one has been injured or killed."
