Charges laid after 13 vehicles damaged in bizarre Edmonton gas-splashing
EDMONTON — A man who was arrested in Edmonton with the help of a citizen after allegedly lighting vehicles on fire now faces charges.
Police say no one was injured in the Friday evening incident near Whyte Avenue, but 13 vehicles were damaged.
They say officers responded to multiple calls about a man who was reported to be walking around pouring fuel on vehicles and setting them on fire.
In one instance, people with fire extinguishers rushed to aid a driver after liquid was poured on the hood of a vehicle from a jerry can and ignited.
