San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the Metro Arson Strike Team (MAST) are asking the public for help in identifying and locating a suspect who is responsible for arson in the Sorrento Valley area, which was caught on video.
On Feb. 3, at around 2:10 a.m. an unidentified man poured a liquid investigators believe to be gasoline on a Lexus IS-300 and a Toyota Tundra. The cars were parked in a driveway in the 10600 block of Arbor Heights Lane. The suspect then used a lighter to ignite the gasoline, which caused fire damage to both vehicles, crime stoppers said.
The suspect, who was caught on surveillance video, was then seen running to a white 4-door sedan that was parked in the street. He was last seen driving northbound on Arbor Heights Lane, investigators said.
Both burned vehicles were a total loss. Damage is estimated at approximately $13,000.
