Video shows possible suspects in La Porte little library fire
Who would burn down a free little library box? That's what the La Porte Fire Marshal is hoping you can help figure out after viewing the above video.

LA PORTE, Texas (KTRK) -- New surveillance video from the La Porte Fire Marshal's Office shows the suspects who might have burned down a "little free library" box earlier this month.

They are seeking help identifying the people seen in the footage posted on their Facebook page.

Officials say the suspects set a fire at Farrington Park, causing damage to the splash pad and to the Rotary Club's "little free library" box.

Council Member Nancy Ojeda posted a photo of all that was left of the box earlier in April.

Ojeda said in the post that she tended to this little library for years, and it "breaks her heart."

If you can identify the two suspects, please call the La Porte Fire Marshal's Office at 281-867-4603 or email them.
