“Callers reported the mulch was on fire at one of the playground sets, which subsequently caught the playground set on fire,” Huber Heights police stated in a release.
Three suspects were reported fleeing from the scene.
Firefighters extinguished the flames, but not before the fire destroyed the equipment.
The playground set “is a total loss,” police said in a social media post.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Huber Heights Police Division at 937-237-3541.
The Ohio Blue Ribbon Arson Committee is offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
