Etsy review helps FBI track down woman who set fire to police cars
PHILADELPHIA — The FBI was able track down a woman accused of setting fire to police cruisers in Philadelphia from information available to anyone on the internet.
Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal was charged with the arson of two Philadelphia police vehicles after agents tracked her down using only a tattoo on her forearm and a t-shirt she bought on Etsy.
On May 30, peaceful protests in Philadelphia over George Floyd’s death turned into a night of destruction with store windows smashed near City Hall, merchandise taken from stores and police cars set ablaze. According to the Department of Justice, two cruisers parked in front of city hall were torched by an individual who prosecutors say took a flaming piece of wooden police barricade from the window of a police cruiser that was already on fire, and then shoved the flaming wood into a second cruiser that was not on fire.
Both vehicles were destroyed.
