West Grove man allegedly used Molotov cocktail to set business on fire with people inside

A West Grove man is in jail after being accused of setting a Chester County business on fire while people were inside.

Agustin Cisneros-Bedolla, 42, was arrested in early March, according to the district attorney’s office. He is facing attempted homicide, aggravated arson, robbery, as well as possession of weapons of mass destruction, among other charges.

According to a criminal complaint, on March 1, Cisneros-Bedolla bought a lighter and gum at the Squire’s Pantry on Gap Newport Pike in London Grove Township.

He then left the business but quickly returned, holding a Molotov cocktail and demanded the keys to a vehicle parked outside, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

After he was given the spare keys, Cisneros-Bedolla allegedly lit the Molotov cocktail and threw the glass bottle in the direction of the employees before leaving.
