According to the Subaru specs, the Crosstrek is 5 feet 3 inches measured from the ground. The person seen in the CCTV footage has to raise the arms straight above the head to pour the liquid on the roof, and we can see the head barely reaches the roof bars.
Short skinny person, easy to identify. Hopefully the accelerant was bought somewhere on that same day.

The act seems personal... revenge motivated.

MOO JMO

Did he carry that can of gas very far? Hopefully there are other cameras along his route. What a jerk.
