JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Investigators said they're looking for an arsonist who set fire inside a multimillion dollar home in Beauclerc on Monday afternoon.
The home in the 2600 block of Beauclerc Road and on the St. Johns River sustained about $200,000 in damage. It's owned by a prominent local doctor, Kenneth Sekine.
According to a report from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, the fire was set in some trash in the garage and spread into the attic. The rear door to the garage was kicked in, according to the report.
A jogger told police that before the house caught fire, he saw a fire burning in a garbage can near the garage. He said he also saw a man in his 30s wearing gray clothes and running from the front of the house to the back.
The police report says the home had been burglarized March 10.
No one was home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries.
If you have any information about the fire, call 877-NO-ARSON. A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.
