“It looks like, from the police report, someone broke into the business next to ours and then also broke into ours and started the fires,” Aquarama owner Karen Frye said.
A nearby gas station owner said his station was almost hit too.
“The cops just show me those pieces of rocks. See, somebody threw the rocks to break the glass, but they couldn't,” Danny Jetwani told Channel 2’s Sophia Choi.
Around 6 a.m., police said they found the person of interest near Driver’s Automotive.
