The FBI has announced it is offering up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest of whoever set fire to two Jewish centers in Massachusetts within five days of each other in May of this year, ABC News has reported.
The FBI released footage Tuesday in hopes the public can help identify the individual who may have information connected to the investigation.
At the Chabad Center for Jewish Life of Arlington-Belmont in Arlington, Massachusetts, local authorities were alerted to a blaze earlier this year May 11 at about 11 p.m. ET. Authorities responded to another fire at the same place May 16, just before 9 p.m. ET.
There were another fire May 16 at the Chabad Lubavitch Jewish Center in Needham, Massachusetts at about 10 p.m. ET, according to the FBI.
At the time of these incidents, surveillance cameras captured pictures of an unknown man, about 5 feet, 11 inches tall, slowly walking to and from the places where the fires ignited.
The FBI said he appears to be wearing khaki pants and a dark North Face jacket with a hood pulled over his head.
"Although surveillance video has given us a promising start to this investigation, it will be the public's eyes that help us bring justice home to them," Joseph Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston division, said in a statement Tuesday. "So, if you recognize the individual in these videos, please contact us immediately."
