Queens, NY – While cleanup crews have been hard at work following the devastating Pesach fire that struck Season’s flagship store on Main Street in Kew Gardens Hills less than 48 hours before its grand opening, Season’s management has been working hand in hand with the authorities to apprehend the vandals responsible for Monday morning’s crime.

Two men were caught on video in the pre dawn hours going up to the roof of the store and igniting a flammable substance that they poured into rooftop vents, triggering the store’s sprinkler system which ran continuously for over fifteen hours.
Mayer Gold, manager of the Queens location, is offering a $5000 reward for any information leading to the apprehension of the arsonists. The crime was recorded by the store’s security system and the footage is being released to the public in the hopes that someone will come forward and identify the culprits.
“The fire marshalls are confident they will find the perpetrators of this heinous crime,” said Gold in an interview with VIN News. “Currently there is a crew of 22 people continuing the clean up process and we have a restoration team working 24 hours a day to clean up and rebuild the store.”

A competitor wanted them out of business?? Why else would these guys do it? Where was the profit??
I hope these workers had workman’s comp. It looks like it could be dangerous.

how come the fire alarm didn’t send out a call to the fire department? Was it hooked up? I
“The fire marshalls are confident they will find the perpetrators of this heinous crime,” said Gold.
heinous crime? A little overboard. Murder is a heinous crime. Arson when no one is in the building is not heinous. Despicable but not heinous.
I don’t know if it’s helpful, but it seems that the man on the ground is injured/disabled in his left arm. He only uses his right. Maybe that could be used to help identify him.
this is strange someone had an agenda what it is we can only speculate

you are so right there is to many groceries in Kew gardens HILLS, I think there is not enough people to keep everyone alive besides the kosher supermarkets u have stop n shop BJs costco e.t.c. i just dont know whats happening,
That second “man” appears to be a woman. She is using her right arm to lift heavy objects, which means that she is a lefty. Notice the white cap, the white jacket, the white shoes. The aforementioned clothes are all clean, and it is a womanly trait to wear light-colored clothing and to discard clothing after only a few wearings. A blow-up of the picture can be attained by pressing one of the four buttons to the right of “youtube'” and the blow up indicates a person with fair skin, and a small face, further pointing to the likelihood of the person being a woman. The blow-up of the face indicates an hispanic woman with large lips, about 20 years old. The man appears to be moving more slowly and more deliberately, indicating someone who is about 12 years older than the woman. He is probably her boyfriend and is avenging some imagined wrong done to the woman.
it actually looks like the white person has a moustach so its two males, and its not a lefty its just his rigth hand is handicaped since it tucked in his pocket and his only using the left one. that should be easy to find. a rigth handicap moustach. i dont think he has white outfit but rather somthing clear but not noticeable.
