Last week, Cedar Park Police said they were working with other area law enforcement agencies to hunt down a suspect believed responsible for at least two area arson cases.

Police said that a man, seen wearing a miniskirt on surveillance video, broke into the Lone Star Bank location at 109 Cypress Creek Road in Cedar Park, splashed a liquid substance onto the lobby floor and then tried to set fire to the building. Official reports say officers responded to the bank in the late evening hours after a motion detection alarm was tripped. Upon arriving at the scene, officers observed smoke coming from the interior of the bank.

When the Cedar Park Fire Department arrived on scene minutes later, it was determined that the fire was already out.

On May 1, the Cedar Park police and fire departments had been called out to a report of a structure fire at One Stop Financial on North Bell Boulevard. Detectives and the Cedar Park Fire Marshall’s office are investigating these cases as related incidents.

Anyone with information on either of these cases should contact the Cedar Park Police Department at (512) 260-4612.
