Two wannabe arsonists nearly ended-up char-grilled themselves.
It was February 3rd, 2012, just before 4 a.m. at the Burger Shoppe at 35th Avenue and Thomas.
Phoenix Police Sergeant Darren Burch, said these guys were trying to throw 20 gallon cans of gas onto the roof of the burger joint.
“But their inept ability was clearly seen in a surveillance video. You can clearly see these suspects trying to throw gas cans up onto a two-story roof. The cans go up and they come right back down on them.”
Even more dumb, the now gasoline-drenched suspects had stuffed improvised wicks into the cans and they were lit.
“They could have lit themselves on fire – let alone the store,” said Burch.
They were unsuccessful this time, but they could get it right the next time if they’re not caught first. Our next unsolved crime happened later that week on the other side of town.
