A Cobleskill Wal-Mart Super Store reopened Tuesday after a suspected case of arson. Police say they're looking for a man who started the fire that forced the evacuation of the store on Sunday night.

Officials say the fire was started by a man who fled in an unknown direction. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. All employees and all customers inside at the time were able to make it out without harm, according to the Times Herald Record

The fire was contained to a small area but police say merchandise throughout the store was damaged by smoke and water. There was also no immediate estimate available of how much of the store's inventory was damaged by the smoke that filled the store.
