[] [BTBBT Daily - 1/3]Person in custody as 12 more fires seen

-->


TWELVE more suspected arson fires broke out early yesterday in the Los Angeles area, and a "person of interest" was taken into custody for questioning in connection with the dozens of suspicious car fires that have hit city since last week.

The developments came a day after police distributed DVDs featuring footage of the person of interest, a white man between 20 and 30 years old with a receding hairline and a shoulder-length ponytail. The man is wanted for questioning in connection with the rash of arson blazes, said Officer Sara Faden.

He was seen on video on Saturday after emerging on foot from inside an underground parking structure on Hollywood Boulevard where a car fire was reported.

Fire department spokesman Captain Jaime Moore said it was too soon to say whether the person of interest was the man seen on the video footage. "It's still too early to say whether or not this person has any direct correlation to the fires," Moore said.

Early yesterday, firefighters battled 12 suspected arson fires at carports and garages.

Moore said authorities believe the fires were connected to the earlier blazes, which now stand at 55.

The outbreak of arson fires has left a trail of smoldering debris in Hollywood, West Hollywood, North Hollywood and the Fairfax district of Los Angeles since Thursday.

Authorities said they were investigating a total of 43 suspicious fires. Most of those fires were set in parked cars. In several cases, flames have jumped to carports and apartment units.

A reward of US$60,000 has been offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the arsonist.

Detectives served a search warrant at a home in the San Fernando Valley, a detective said on Sunday. Several interviews were done but no arrests were made.

Authorities haven't said how the car fires were sparked or what was collected at the crime scenes. They were unsure if the rash of fires were the work of one arsonist or multiple people or copycats.

There have been no injuries.

Firefighters routinely are called to put out burning cars, but this recent spate has been unusual because of the frequency and location of the fires. Police urged residents to check their cars for any signs of tampering and take simple precautions.
