INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Two employees suffered minor injuries in a fire set by a customer trying to steal items from a Wayne Township Family Dollar store.
Firefighters were called to the store near Lynhurst Drive and Rockville Road just after 11:30 a.m.
The first firefighters arrived to find a small fire had already been extinguished by employees. They say it appears a would-be shoplifter set the fire as a distraction.
One of the injured employees was taken to a local hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. The second employee was treated and released at the scene.
The suspect fled from the store with bright green totes. He is described as a bearded white male who was wearing a white ball cap.
