LADUE, Mo. – The Ladue Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying an individual in connection to a beehive arson and property damage investigation.
According to Ladue Police on Facebook, the suspect is seen wearing dark-colored clothing and riding on an e-bike in photographs after a bee hive was set on fire off Clayton Road in the early morning hours on Wednesday, Sept. 11
Two separate beehives were set on fire in just the past two months, including the fire last week at the Carmelite Monastery. The Ladue and Frontenac Police cannot rule out if the two beehive arsons are connected.
