Multiple police cars burned in ‘suspicious’ New Jersey fire: Officials

HACKENSACK, N.J. (PIX11) – Multiple police cars were burned in a “suspicious” fire at a parking area for the Hackensack Police Department, officials said.

The fire started just after 8 p.m. Saturday at an overflow parking area on Trinity Place, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.

Multiple police vehicles were parked and unoccupied in the parking lot when the fire broke out, officials said. No one was injured.

New Jersey officials are investigating the fire as “suspicious.”

In June, eight police cruisers were set on fire inside a locked parking lot in Brooklyn, according to the NYPD. The suspected arsonist was arrested later in June.
