The ATF, along with the Detroit Fire Department, is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for three commercial building fires in Detroit and Hamtramck.

According to the ATF, the first was at Hamtramck Hardware on Oct. 28, 2017. Two days later, there was another fire at Indian Fashions in Hamtramck, and a third on Dec. 11, 2017, at Saeed's Market. All were on Conant St. 

In all three instances, the buildings were occupied and surveillance cameras caught the same individual entering locked rooms before the fire broke out.

Anyone with information about this crime should contact the ATF at (888) ATF-TIPS (1-888-283-8477) or the Detroit Arson tip line at (313) 628-2900.
