Pacific Grove police are investigating a suspicious fire at Latitudes restaurant this morning that appeared to have been caused by a Molotov cocktail.
The blaze was reported at about 5:50 a.m. at the restaurant located at 631 Oceanview Blvd.
The fire was contained to the roof and was extinguished within 10 minutes, said Pacific Grove Police Department Cmdr. John Nyunt.
The incendiary device caused minor damage to the restaurant and prompted the closure of two nearby streets for about two hours, Nyunt said.
No injuries were reported.
The Monterey Fire Department and Pebble Beach Community Service District Fire Department assisted.
Nyunt said that the Police Department will continue to investigate the fire as arson.
