South San Francisco police are searching for a suspect who broke into a vehicle early this morning and lit it on fire. Police and firefighters responded to reports of a vehicle fire in front of an apartment building at 7 Lewis Ave. at about 12:15 a.m., police said.
Witnesses saw someone wearing a black hoodie and a black mask
break one of the car's rear windows with a brick and then throw a lit
container filled with flammable liquid inside, police said.
The suspect then fled in a white four-door sedan. The fire was extinguished quickly and no one was injured.
Anyone who might have information about the case is asked to call South San Francisco police at (650) 877-8900.
