On Monday, the police appealed to the public for help via social media, urging anyone with information to contact detectives at 928-763-9200.

At approximately 8:35 p.m. on June 23, a Bullhead City Fire medical crew alerted police dispatch to a 5-foot by 5-foot brush fire behind Lowe’s. The crew immediately requested fire engine assistance.

Nineteen minutes later, emergency responders were sent to address three dumpster fires behind Safeway. The fires were contained within the bins and did not spread to any buildings.
