NANTICOKE, PA – A quiet Wednesday night turned chaotic when an unknown man hurled firebombs at a Pennsylvania state representative’s office, sparking an urgent police hunt for the suspect. Authorities are now calling on the public to help track down the individual behind this dangerous act.

Firebombs Target Legislative Office

The Nanticoke City Police Department released surveillance photos on Friday, showing a suspect who allegedly tossed “several Molotov cocktail like devices” at the office of Republican State Rep. Alec Ryncavage. The incident unfolded around 11:20 p.m. on Wednesday at 50 North Walnut Street in Nanticoke, a small city roughly 120 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Rep. Ryncavage described the alarming event, saying, “Late Wednesday night, an unidentified male attempted to ignite and throw two firebomb-like devices at my legislative district office. Our complex shares walls with a family-owned pharmacy, a family-owned physical therapy office, and we have neighbors right across the street. Sadly, someone wanted to light it all on fire.”
