MEMPHIS, Tenn — The Memphis Fire Department has released new video of another recent arson at a local tax business.
MFD said they were called to Rapid Refund Taxes in the 2800 block of S. Perkins Rd. on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023.
Fire fighters arrived to find the business in flames. They said the fire was intentionally set inside.
Video showed two suspects outside, breaking into the business. One is seen going through a pane of glass they broke through, and less than a minute later the suspect runs out, and both take off.
Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH (2274) or the State Arson Hotline at 1-800-762-3017.
This latest video comes only days after MFD released a video of another arson as they said they were searching for whoever set fire to at least three other tax businesses.
MFD said they responded to three Washington Credit and Tax Solution locations and extinguished fires on the inside of each office space; one on Feb. 5 at 5910 Mt. Moriah Road, and two others on Feb. 7, at 4359 Elvis Presley Boulevard and 3517 Ramill Road.
Fire investigators determined each fire was intentionally ignited using a poured accelerant and an open flame device, the same as in the most recent case. Investigators have not said if they believe this latest case is related to the previous ones.
