Cars Set Ablaze In Philly

Posted: Updated:
PHILADELPHIA -

Fire officials in Philadelphia are investigating several car fires that happened early Saturday morning in the city's Kensington and Juniata neighborhoods.

In all, four cars had their windows smashed, and their insides torched. The Fire Marshal's office calls the fires suspicious, and all of them may be related.

No one was hurt, but police want to find who is responsible before they can cause more damage.

This isn't the first time mass car vandalism was reported in Philadelphia. Just a few months ago, the city's Mayfair neighborhood was plagued with tire slashings. Police arrested David Toledo, who was actually part of the town watch, as the man the believe was responsible for terrorizing that neighborhood.
