PELION, S.C. — Pelion Police have released surveillance video they believe may be connected to an arson investigation that has been underway since late August.
The fire happened on Aug. 25 in the 100 block of Summerland Court around 11:45 p.m.
The fire resulted in heavy damage to a mobile home in the area and, according to police, was ruled suspicious the very next day.
Months later, on Friday, Pelion Police released video stills that show a dark pickup truck traveling through an intersection near the scene a short time after the fire. Investigators haven't suggested what the make or model of the truck may be but said that it has a "loud exhaust system" and is possibly missing the catalytic converter.
At this time, the truck and its driver are only considered "of interest" in the case.
Anyone with information regarding the arson suspect or the owner of the truck is urged to contact Pelion Police at 803-894-2520 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
