The FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office is seeking the public’s help in order to identify the individuals responsible for the arson of a medical building in Costa Mesa, California, on March 13, 2022. 

As part of a national effort to bring awareness to a series of attacks and threats targeting reproductive health service facilities across the country, the FBI is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the suspects responsible for this crime. 

On March 13, 2022, at approximately 1:00 a.m., two unknown suspects were captured on surveillance video throwing a Molotov cocktail at the front door of a medical building used by Planned Parenthood in Costa Mesa, California. One unknown suspect wore a blue hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, dark-colored pants, a multi-colored facial covering, dark shoes, and green gloves. The second unknown suspect wore a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, jeans, a dark-colored facial covering, black shoes with white trim, and dark-colored gloves. 

This criminal act is a potential violation of Title 18 U.S.C. § 844(i), Destruction by Means of a Fire or Explosive, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in federal prison.
