ACCOMACK COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) -  Twenty fires set, and officials believe they are all linked, but still don't have any leads in the case.

Virginia State Police say an arsonist lit an empty chicken coop on fire Friday night in Accomack County, bringing the total number of fires set in the past two weeks by an arsonist to 20.

All of the fires have been in abandoned structures, so nobody has been injured.

Police are now offering a reward of up to $5,000 dollars for information.

To report a tip call 1-800-582-8350.
