NextImg:Arson Suspect Arrested, Possibly Connected to 20 Recent Car Fires in Tujunga

Following a string of vehicle fires in the area, police Monday said they’ve arrested a suspect caught on camera setting fire to a truck in Sunland-Tujunga, California,

In video footage released by the Los Angeles Police Department, a male suspect on a bike pulls up to a blue pickup truck parked on Greeley Avenue and lights the hood on fire before pedaling away.

The suspect, whose name has not yet been released by police, was arrested soon after the truck’s firebombing, according to KNX.

The truck’s owner, Richard Poquette, told KNX that he had never seen the suspect before.

“Unfortunately, the person is real angry at the world and he was taking it out on my truck well as other people who’ve lost their property as well,” Poquette told KNX.

There have been recent reports of about 20 cars burned in the Tujunga area over the past several months, and the fires remain under investigation.

Upon hearing of the suspect’s arrest, area residents told reporters that they’re hopeful that he proves to be the serial arsonist responsible for all of the recent firebombings, bringing an end to the destruction.
