SAN ANTONIO — Arson is investigating after five vehicles were burned northwest of downtown early Monday morning.responded to the 2400 block of Greencrest Drive in between Vance Jackson Road and West Avenue around 2 a.m. for reports of a fire.
When first responders arrived, five vehicles were burning. Police had responded to the same home earlier for reports of a disturbance. Two families woke up in disbelief after finding their cars scorched in their driveways. What’s worse is that they don’t how this could have happened. “A tragedy happened, not sure what happened, when we came and woke up, the truck was already on fire and burned," Hernandez said."And this truck started the other truck, and then we lost all four cars.”"In reality we don’t know we just heard noises," Ponce said."When my daughter came out everything was in flames.
Hernandez’s family does not have surveillance footage. Ponce says he does but nothing was captured. Fortunately, he says his neighbor’s camera did. “The ones that capture stuff here, they just saw a car pass by... but they don’t know it’s under investigation we’re going to see what happens, but nobody saw anything,” Ponce said.This is a developing story.
