SUSPICIOUS VEHICLE FIRES

Investigations ongoing             

LONDON, ON (November 22, 2021) – Members of the London Police Service Street Crime Unit are investigating six (6) suspicious fires reported between November 6 – November 22, 2021, in the same general area of the city.

Fires were reported on Price Street, Trafalgar Street, Dakin Street, Egerton Street, and Hamilton Road. Two of the reported incidents took place at the same location on Hamilton Road, two nights apart from each other.

There were no reported injuries in relation to any of the fires.

The fires are suspicious in nature, and in each case, a vehicle parked on private property appears to have been targeted.  

Although these fires were all relatively minor in nature, fire in and around a residential property poses significant danger to the safety and well-being of occupants and neighbours inside homes. Because deliberately-set fires in one location can quickly grow and spread, they are of particular concern.

Anyone with information in relation to this incident is asked to call the London Police Service at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent in online anonymously to London Elgin Middlesex Crime Stoppers.
