Arsonist sets fire to several cars in Chinatown

Authorities are investigating a series of car fires that occurred in Chinatown this weekend that they say could be the work of a possible arsonist.

Firefighters were dispatched to the 700 block of N. Bunker Avenue just before 5 a.m. Sunday after hearing of multiple vehicle fires in the area, Los Angeles Fire Department officials said.

They arrived to find two cars still on fire, some of the five damaged by flames.

Arson investigators were called to the scene due to the “multiple fire starting locations,” fire officials said.

No injuries were reported in the incident.
