Search for arsonist with half-sleeve tattoo on left arm continues in Broward

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Detectives continued to gather evidence on Tuesday outside of a home in Coral Springs during their search for an arsonist who has a half-sleeve tattoo on his left arm.

A man used gasoline to set a fire while the seniors were sleeping in the home where they have lived for about three decades. Before the fire, someone smashed one of the home’s windows.
