The Vallejo Police Department is asking for help in locating a suspect who started a fire inside the Target store on Admiral Callaghan Lane on Saturday.
The mid-afternoon incident involved an unidentified suspect who “committed an unlawful act within the establishment by igniting a significant fire during the business’ operating hours,” according to a VPD news release. “This reckless act jeopardized the safety of both employees and customers, resulting in substantial damage to the structure and a loss of merchandise estimated to exceed $3 million.”

Public Information Officer Rashad Hollis told the Times-Herald on Wednesday that the Target had to be closed due to the smoke destroying food and fabric materials inside the store.
“They had to throw all that stuff away,” Hollis said. “They’ll have to restore the whole building and replace a lot of the merchandise. My guess is that the store will remain closed until a new shipment comes in.”
Police are appealing to the public for help identifying this person of interest shown in the photo attached to this story. If you possess any information about this arson case, the VPD urges you to contact Officer Stephanie Diaz at (707) 564-7106 or via email at [email protected].
