Award fund of $10,000 for restaurant arson info

The NW Insurance Council and Arson Alarm Foundation announced a $10,000 award fund for information that helps to solve the Oct. 23 arson  that damaged the Taproot Theatre and destroyed Pho Tic-Tac, the Green Bean coffeehouse, and Szechuan Bistro.

Awards to tipsters will be paid from the fund, so multiple awards may be made, according to Darrin Sanger, communications director at the NW Insurance Council.

Anyone with information can call the Arson Hotline (800-55-ARSON) or local authorities. You can remain anonymous and may be eligible for an award.
