Chandler Police Seek Suspect After Home Fire Endangers Five

Chandler Police are actively searching for 61-year-old Oscar Sanchez, who is suspected of setting fire to a home on May 4 while five people were inside, including three individuals with active protection orders against him. The fire caused significant damage, destroying a cherished family home and its contents, but all occupants escaped, with one person suffering smoke inhalation. Sanchez, who has a history of mental health issues and prior convictions related to arson and vandalism, was seen leaving the property just before the fire started, according to family members. The victim family had previously tried to help Sanchez despite concerns for their safety, but recent events have shifted their focus towards ensuring he is apprehended. Authorities urge anyone with information on Sanchez's whereabouts to contact Chandler Police or Silent Witness to prevent further harm. The investigation remains ongoing as police work to locate Sanchez and bring him into custody.
