Teen Accused of Setting Fire to Bra Display at Walmart

Police in Washington State are searching for a young man accused of turning a Walmart lingerie aisle into a scene straight out of a very strange protest.
According to investigators, a teen believed to be between 16 and 18 years old allegedly walked into a Walmart last Friday, headed straight for the women's lingerie section, and set fire to a display of bras.
Authorities say the suspect arrived in a white Cadillac Escalade, made a beeline for the bra rack, started the fire, then quickly returned to the vehicle and left the scene.
The store had to be evacuated while firefighters dealt with the blaze, and staff later ventilated the building to clear out the smoke. Thankfully, no serious injuries were reported.
