Alleged Green Acres arson suspects at large

Police are looking for four men who allegedly set fire to two buses in the back parking lot of Dick’s Sporting Goods at the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream causing a third bus to be set ablaze and destroyed last month.

Nassau County Fire Communications alerted Valley Stream firefighters of the fire at 8:30 p.m. on July 8. Engine 4 arrived and stretched a hose line to extinguish a school bus engulfed in flames, backed up by Engine 2.

A second school bus —  50 feet away —  was found smoldering, fire officials said. The New York City Fire Department also lent support as FDNY Engine 311 and Tower Ladder 158 worked alongside Valley Stream firefighters to extinguish the second bus fire.

Police ask anyone with information regarding the incident to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at (800) 244-8477 or the Nassau County Police Department Arson Bomb Squad at (516) 573-8850. All calls are confidential.
