ISP Seeking Public’s Assistance in Solving Arson Cases

(LaGrange County, IN)-The Indiana State Police in Fort Wayne is asking for the public’s help in solving three separate fires which occurred on the property of 6940 N 100 E in rural Howe earlier this year.

According to Detective David Poe, a barn fire was responded to by the Howe Volunteer Fire Department on February 17, 2016.  The cause of the ignition was not able to be determined.  On May 15, 2016 a shed fire was reported and on August 6, 2016 another fire was reported to another out building on the property.  All three are suspicious in nature and are believed to have been intentionally set.

Poe is asking for anyone who may have any information whatsoever about these fires to contact him through the Fort Wayne Post at either (800) 552-0976 (Indiana only) or (260) 432-8661.  Anonymous calls will be accepted.
