HOLLYWOOD – The owners of an iconic restaurant on the Hollywood Broadwalk are speaking out as surveillance video shows an arsonist hurling a Molotov cocktail at the back of their business.
The suspect is also seen on a new flyer from Broward Crime Stoppers in which they said there is a $5,000 reward and they show a photo of him and his red car. It happened at 4:45 a.m. on the morning of Monday, June 24th.
The Broadwalk restaurant has been in business for 22 years and the owners said they are baffled because they did not recognize the suspect or know why he tried to set their restaurant on fire.
Danielle Thomas, the co-owner of the restaurant, said “I feel horrible and scared and terrified. I am really worried. I have been here for 22 years and we have never had an issue before. I have no idea why he did this. We haven’t had an problems with anybody. We are a family restaurant and we have known a lot of people for many years.”
