VIDEO: A serial arsonist is off the streets after a home security camera caught him in the act helping police arrest him.
A neighbor's Ring camera captured the man on the bike dousing a truck parked on Greeley Street and Pinewood Avenue in Tujunga with something from a bottle. The man is then seen lighting the truck on fire and riding away.
Rich Poquette, the owner of the truck, says he had just purchased the vehicle two months ago.
"It’s clear as day, you can see everything he is doing," said Rich. "It’s just shocking."
"I felt like I got lucky finding it [the truck]. The guy who sold it to me was a really super nice guy," Rich said. "The truck was fun to drive and in immaculate condition inside and out."
Rich had to have his foot amputated last week because of complications caused by his diabetes. He says he couldn’t wait to get back in his truck, but instead watched it burn from his wheelchair.
