Leather Factory Fire Ruled Arson

Salt Lake City fire investigators rule arson in fire at the Tandy Leather Factory.

After a message board post broke the story of an arson at the Tandy Leather Factory store in Salt Lake City, fire investigators have ruled it arson.

The post stated someone broke in to the store, spread an accelerant up and down the aisles, and set the store on fire. The store sustained damages that reportedly closed the store for at least a few days. View pictures of the store post-arson here.

A Salt Lake City fire department spokesperson stated:

We don’t know who. We don’t know what the motive is — nothing left behind, or nothing sent to us since then that claims responsibility or claims a motive.

To date, no underground animal liberation group has claimed responsibility, and the motive for the fire remains unknown.
