Lincoln Police say two vehicles were damaged by fire in the same neighborhood on Monday morning. Just after 6 a.m. police were called to the 6200 block of Blackstone on a car fire. A 71 year old man reported that his neighbor alerted him that his van was on fire.
The victim found doors open to the vehicle and a bucket inside that was on fire. Another man who lives in the 6400 block of Blackstone Road reported that around 7 a.m. he found his F150 pickup with interior damaged from a fire that had already extinguished itself.
The van sustained an estimated $800 damage and the truck had around $3,000. Investigators determined that both fires were deliberately set. This investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to call Lincoln Police at 402-441-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
