Police investigating Molotov cocktail attack in N. Minneapolis

February 14, 2017 at 3:36AM

Minneapolis police are searching for a suspect or suspects who they believe threw Molotov cocktails at a garage in the Camden neighborhood over the weekend, causing minor damage.

The incident is being investigated as possible arson.

Officers were summoned to a house in the 4200 block of N. Irving Avenue about 9 p.m. Sunday on a property damage report, according to police. An occupant, a 25-year-old man, told them that someone had thrown burning bottles at the detached two-car garage, but he didn't see the suspect, an incident report said.

Three shattered beer bottles found next to the garage had wicks in them and were charred on the inside, police said. The fire was quickly put out, but caused some damage to the siding, police said.

No arrests were reported, and no information on a suspect has been released.
