Lacey police said they found a Tesla charging station damaged after receiving multiple calls about a 'loud noise' in the area.
The suspect is described as a White man, around 5'10" to 6'2", wearing a dark jacket, gray pants and a face covering. He walked with a slight limp with his right leg and, at times, had his right hand held behind his back. He was also carrying a white bag.
Video of the suspect shows him walking through a parking lot, likely near the Tesla superchargers, and between two fenced-off areas.
The man possibly sustained injuries due to being close to the supercharger explosion, such as burns, a concussion or shrapnel injuries.
The FBI asks anyone living near the Target and Kohl's stores at the South Sound Center shopping mall to check doorbell and security camera footage from the late evening of April 7 to the early morning of April 8, as the suspect may have been caught on camera walking or accessing a vehicle.
Anyone who recognizes the suspect, has video footage of him or has information relating to the Tesla charging station arson is asked to contact the FBI's tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. A Digital Media Tipline is also open at fbi.gov/lacey-tesla-arson.
