The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, alongside other law enforcement agencies, is searching for seven ‘persons of interest’ in connection with multiple fires set during the civil unrest in Kenosha.
Videos and photos shared by the ATF on Wednesday show several individuals who officials believe played a roll in setting fire to buildings and vehicles throughout Kenosha. In total, 20 buildings and seven vehicles were set on fire during the unrest.
“With remarkable speed, the ATF’s National Response Team has already processed the fire scenes and isolated images of individuals who may have important information,” United States Attorney Matthew D. Krueger said. “Now we need the public’s help in reviewing these images. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, with the ATF and our state and local partners, will continue working to hold accountable anyone responsible for the arsons that devastated Kenosha.”
