Explosive devices were detonated and a Molotov cocktail-like object was thrown outside three Washington, DC businesses early Sunday, police said.
All three incidents occurred over a period of about 15 minutes in northeast Washington, DC, the Metropolitan Police Department said. No one was injured, but there was damage at every location.
Police said the suspect was targeting commercial establishments and not members of the public. Each of the businesses was closed at the time.
In the first incident, the suspect detonated a device on the sidewalk outside a Truist Bank ATM at around 4:30 a.m. and then drove off, police said. Just six minutes later, the suspect detonated an explosive device on the sidewalk outside a Nike store.
The suspect then threw a Molotov cocktail-like object at a Safeway around 4:45 a.m. before driving off, officials said.
Police have released a surveillance image of a suspect and the car they are looking for. The car is a gold or champagne colored Acura TL with a Maryland license plate of 17971CK.
Each of the targeted businesses is at least one mile from the United States Capitol building.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating with the Washington Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Police are offering a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who provides information leading to arrest and conviction. The ATF is also offering a $10,000 reward.
There may be more than one suspect in the case, police said.
