A rash of mysterious car arsons have been keeping firefighters in Columbus busy in recent days.
Fire officials say eleven vehicles have been torched in downtown's historic district, and in residential neighborhoods around the campus of Columbus State University over the last four days.
Columbus Fire Marshal Thomas Streeter says the arsonists used an accelerant to spark the fires, and that investigators are analyzing the material:
“What makes this fairly unique is that the vehicles were not stolen, and that some of the vehicles were close and up around the resident's homes...”There were no injuries in the arsons. Residents in the areas hit have started watch groups.
Streeter says investigators don't have any leads yet, and asked the public to be vigilant and call 911 if they have any information.
