Police are investigating after a person torched a car in Center City Philadelphia after a failed attempt to steal it Saturday morning.
Police are investigating after a suspect tried to steal an out-of-state couple’s car and when that failed, set it on fire in Center City early Saturday morning.
At 11:08 a.m. on Saturday, police responded to the 2200 block of Spruce Street for a car fire, police said. The fire department and the fire marshal also responded to the scene.“My parents are New Yorkers and they’re used to crazy things. But this is so far beyond what you would expect to happen,” Margaux Rogers, the daughter of the couple whose car was set on fire, said.A neighbor’s surveillance system caught the culprit in the act.
The person spends several minutes in the driver’s seat but seems to not be able to get the car to start. He then gets out, starts lighting matches and tosses them into the car.“I just feel awful for my parents. They had come down to help us with our new apartment and they had a great time and then they walked to their car about to get back in and drive to New York and it was melted. It’s just so crazy!” Rogers said.
