At least two of the fires appear to be related to fireworks, according to investigators.
On July 5, someone used fireworks to damage the bathrooms at Surrey Downs Park on Southeast Fourth Street. A photo showed a toilet was destroyed, and police said the damage was extensive.
On July 8, someone set a fire on the roof at Puesta Del Sol Elementary School. Though fireworks debris was found at the scene, police said it is not known what caused the fire.“We are asking anyone who saw anything or has any information about these fires to please give us a call,” said Bellevue Police Captain Rob Spingler. “Not only did we see tens of thousands of dollars in damage with these fires, but it’s also incredibly dangerous, and we’re lucky no one was injured.
If you have information about any of the three fires you’re asked to call the Bellevue Police Department’s non-emergency number at 425-452-6917.
