The reward offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction in a string of March arsons continues to grow.

The reward, being gathered by Hays businessman Chris Miller, now stands at nearly $4,000.

Miller, owner of Auto Tech, 600 Vine, was one of the earliest victims of the rash of fires, which began March 6 and ultimately resulted in approximately 20 arsons.

The Kansas State Fire Marshal is investigating the fires, and Ellis County Sheriff Ed Harbin said this week that there is nothing new to report on the investigation.

“If we produce enough reward money, we’ll get some results,” Miller said. “Somebody out there knows something.”

Anyone with information that could help the investigation is asked to call the Ellis County Sheriff’s Department at (785) 625-1040.

Miller said anyone wishing to add to the reward pot can contact him at (785) 625-6409.
