East Lansing police are offering reward money in return for information regarding 12 fires started following MSU’s loss to Duke in the NCAA Tournament last Friday.
The department is offering $500 for each tip that leads to the arrest and conviction of an individual involved with the fires, according to a police press release.
East Lansing police Capt. Jeff Murphy said the department has offered rewards in the past for similar information regarding fires involved with riots.
“It seems more and more that every time something happens, whether we win or lose … people start these fires,” Murphy said. “It’s a negative thing for the city, the university and the students.”
Those with information on the fires are encouraged to call East Lansing police at 517-319-6884 or email elpdtips@elpolice.com with their tip and phone number.
