\"2015Horsearson\"The FBI<\/a> has doubled to $10,000 the reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for last year’s arson at Noble Horse Theatre.<\/p>\n

The fire on Feb. 6, 2015, destroyed 13 horse-drawn carriages worth about $130,000, according to the FBI. It also damaged the building at 1410 N. Orleans St. in the Old Town neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The FBI announced in May 2015 that it would offer a $5,000 reward for information about\u00a0the fire, which police and fire officials originally thought was an accident.<\/p>\n

But investigators later determined that someone had set fires in two storage areas for the\u00a0carriages, according to the FBI. None of the horses was\u00a0injured. Police said at the time that the early morning fire was contained in an area away from the animals.<\/p>\n
