The owner of a construction company in New Jersey said he's out more than $100,000 after someone set fire to four of his company vehicles. Security camera video captured two men in hooded sweatshirts entering a property in Paterson around 3:00 a.m. Sunday, breaking the windows of vehicles owned by Jaslin Construction. and then pouring gasoline inside. They then lit the cars on fire, with flames reaching more than a dozen feet high. Police said the duo accessed the vehicles by sneaking behind a home on 25th Street and 14th Avenue. Jaslin Construction's owner, Jesus Izaguirre, said the fires could have turned deadly, as there's a home next door and people were sleeping inside it at the time. Thankfully, firefighters were called to the scene and prevented the fire from spreading.
