SAPD, SAFD investigating potential arson at Northwest Side bank, officials say

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police and firefighters are investigating a possible arson that occurred at a Northwest Side bank early Wednesday, according to officials for both departments.

The fire happened around 12:50 a.m. at a Frost Bank in the 13000 block of Vance Jackson near De Zavala Road.

A woman using the bank’s ATM reportedly saw a man and flames inside the building, police said.

The bank’s security company said a man broke in through a side door using a crowbar before smashing security cameras and setting a fire on the bank’s information desk, SAPD said.

The man fled from the scene and has not been located.

The San Antonio Fire Department put out the fire, which left minor smoke damage and a burned desk.

Arson investigators were called to the scene.
