Investigators probing a recent rash of suspicious fires in Forest Hills reportedly have surveillance video showing a man “looking like a ninja,” entering a construction site where one of the blazes broke out, police sources said.
The man wearing all black is seen scaling a wall at 108-49 66th Ave., where the fire erupted on Nov. 17 and spread to two nearby homes, sources said.
The suspect carried a backpack which investigators suspect may have contained incendiary materials used to start the fire, sources said.
According to the 112th Precinct, which covers the area, six of the seven recent fires in the area have been deemed suspicious.
All the suspicious fires broke out at vacant buildings that were being renovated or under construction.

The "Ninja" comment seems very racially motivated and politically incorrect.
Many will be offended, and we will have to ban black outfits...
Ninja arsonists, samurais wielding katanas in the Apple store, a real baby in a manger - is it just me or is NYC even weirder than usual?
Maybe it was a jedi. Maybe it was George Lucas advertising for the new Star Wars movie!
Nothing weird here about this mercenary arsonist piece of shit and the developers or contractors who hired him.
Some predatory lowlife greedheads are trying to scare the residents out of forest hills to install future density style development.
I think there are some copycats. Two properties at 90-05 56h Avenue and 90-11 56th Avenue also had fires. Both owned by LLC's to hide and protect owner identities. I hope the FDNY fully investigates these suspicious fires and send a warning to any arsonists engaging in destroying neighborhoods!
7th house in the past 2 weeks went on fire.
