San Antonio, Texas Police and Crime Stoppers are seeking the help of the general public to track down a suspected arsonist that set a fire at a Crown Castle monopole site in the 1800 block of Hunt Lane on May 24. Police issued the announcement on Sunday.

Authorities said that the man, pictured, above, used an accelerant to ignite the cell phone tower and burn fiber optic components.

The subject was also seen in a surveillance video walking with a woman along Angel Valley Street just east of the cell tower.
