3 vehicles set on fire outside Lauderhill home

Same vehicles targeted in January

LAUDERHILL, Fla. ā€“ An arson investigation is underway after at least three vehicles were set on fire in Lauderhill.

It happened Friday morning along Northwest 14th Street.

A resident told Local 10 News that a neighbor alerted her to the fire, so they rushed outside to put out the flames before it spread.

ā€œWe were just all running around patting and trying to get the fires out, throwing water. It was real scary,ā€ Sharia Wilson said. ā€œEverything was flamed up, everybody running around trying to put the fires out.ā€

Just a month ago, the same vehicles were targeted.

ā€œThe first time they came it was two vehicles that was caught on fire, and five days later, the back of our roof was on fire,ā€ Wilson said.

Police are searching for the person responsible.

ā€œEvery time they come, we are sleeping,ā€ Wilson said. ā€œ(Weā€™re) in here sleeping and they setting our stuff on fire.ā€

A Ring camera captured one of the previous times this happened.

Flames tore away at several vehicles.

In 2019, a neighbor was also targeted at least three times.

ā€œItā€™s very annoying, scary also because weā€™ve got kids in the house,ā€ Wilson said.
