VIDEO: A Phoenix man said he's concerned after several of his neighbors have found their cars on fire. Dan Cooprider said he's seen five arson cases within about a mile of where he lives within the past year and a half.
The most recent incident happened Monday. "It is brazen," said Cooprider. "It's bold. It begs the question, what on earth would be the motive for someone to target a single block?" Cooprider said someone lit his neighbor's car on fire early Monday morning near 17th Avenue and Bethany Home Road."To have this one just the other day was a bit unnerving, but it was made more unnerving when I learned there was another arson within 15 minutes, within in a mile, south of here," said Cooprider. The arson reminded Cooprider of something he caught on his surveillance cameras back in June 2019. In that video footage, someone appears to light a car on fire outside another neighbor's home.
