Boston police have released photos of a man who might be the culprit behind a series of arson attacks in Jamaica Plain, including the attack on January 6 that burned Maria's Hair Fashions to the ground.

The suspect, who is paunchier than we imagined him to be, was allegedly videotaped while using a pair of tires to set fire to a house on Sigourney Street. The Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriters Association is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to his capture. [BPDNews]
