Police were in Florida on Tuesday to track down a man wanted for questioning in a series of arson attacks on City Hall and the state parks office.
An arsonist set the 1,500-square-foot human resources office at City Hall aflame April 1; no one was hurt, but damage was estimated at $400,000.
That same day, the Ocean Street State Parks offices sustained slight damage when someone placed a Molotov cocktail in a vent.
