TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) - Authorities in Taunton are worried about an arsonist who appears to be on the loose.
The southeastern Massachusetts city had five suspicious fires over a period of several hours starting late Wednesday night and into early Thursday morning.
No injuries were reported.
Four of the blazes occurred on the same street, beginning with a truck fire on Weir Street shortly before midnight. A short time later flames broke out in a bakery on Weir Street, followed by small fires outside two homes on that street and another on Leonard Court.
One person was briefly detained by police but later released.
