Savannah-Chatham police are asking the public to help identify and locate a woman suspected of starting a fire in a local Wal-Mart last month as a distraction.
Police say the woman set the blaze about noon Aug. 20 at the Wal-Mart in the 6000 block of Ogeechee Road that allowed her to leave the store with a basketful of items.
The black female suspect, said Julian Miller, police spokesman, appears to be in her 30s. She is about 5-foot-3 and 150 pounds and was caught on surveillance video wearing gray sweat pants, a white T-shirt with a picture of a white male on it and left the store in an older-model Suzuki Vitara that was either black or gray, Miller added.
Anyone with information on the identity of the woman or her location is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
