SAN FRANCISCO — One company wants to scrub The City clean of its portable-toilet arsonist.
The Oakland-based Clorox Co. staged a “Potty Patrol” walk through areas of San Francisco Tuesday to raise awareness about the serial arsonist who has burned 27 portable bathrooms in a crime spree that began in November.
The march came after the company offered a $5,000 reward and a year’s supply of cleaning products for tips leading to an arrest.
The procession will start at 11 a.m. near a Clorox outhouse on Sansome Street and Pacific Avenue, and will go through locations on The Embarcadero and Broadway before wrapping up at noon.
According to Clorox spokesman David Kellis, members of the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice and the Fire Department will attend.
