U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) yesterday asked the attorney general to provide additional resources to Coatesville to help track down a serial arsonist or arsonists responsible for a string of arsons that has terrorized city residents.

"It is clear that despite support from federal and state levels, local law enforcement and first responder sources are stretched thin and community residents are fearful and frustrated," said Casey in a letter to U.S. Attorney Eric Holder.
"Specifically, I request that you direct any available discretionary funding and ATF or other law enforcement resources to support Coatesville efforts," Casey wrote.
