Cleveland Fire investigators: Duo wanted for arson after lighting stolen car on fire

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Cleveland Fire Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying the two arson suspects.

According to investigators, at approximately 1:30 pm on the afternoon of September 14, these individuals lit a stolen Hyundai on fire in the 3100 block of West 70th Street just south of Camden.

The fire spread to two garages, according to a Facebook post.

A neighbor, who did not want to be identified on camera, told a 19 News crew that this isn’t the first time this has happened in their neighborhood.

“We’ve had a problem with this before. They burnt my garage up several times. There used to be a big building back here and it’s tore down. These are arsonists. They get these cars and burn them up,” he said.

There is up to a $5K Reward available for information leading to a conviction. Anonymous Information can be submitted to Cleveland Fire Investigation Unit (216) 664-6380 or Crime Stoppers at (216) 252-7463.
