Police seek public’s help identifying man on dirt bike that set fire to State Farm store in Dundalk

Earlier this week, Baltimore County Police sent out a request to the public seeking our help identifying the suspect who started a fire at a Dundalk business on November 16, 2020. 

Just before 8:30 p.m., the suspect rode up to the front of the State Farm store on a dirt bike and parked. The State Farm store was in the 1700 block of Poplar Place in Dundalk, Maryland.

He got off the dirt bike, threw a flammable device through the front window of the business and then drove away on the dirt bike. 

The business was closed at the time and no one was injured. Images of the suspect were captured on nearby security video. The dirt bike appears to have silver tape and distinctive stickers or decals on the front of it.
