Three Cars Set On Fire In Front Of Lauderhill Home

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - A firebug has struck again in a Lauderhill neighborhood.

For the third time in just over a month, Sheria Wilson said someone has set something on her property on fire.

"It was two vehicles that was caught on fire and then five days later they came in the backyard and set our roof on fire," she said.

The latest incident happened around 1:30 a.m. Friday in front of the home she rents near NW 47th Avenue and NW 14th Street.

"We woke up and we came outside all three vehicles was on fire," she said.

They were able to quickly extinguish the flames, so the damage to the cars was not extensive.

"It's scary because we have kids in the house and the next time who knows, they may throw something through the window or something. We were in there sleeping good and there's somebody out here trying to destroy us. We just move d here last year in May and it's crazy," said Wilson.

Wilson said someone also set cars on fire at her neighbor's house, and charred his roof, before the fires started happening at her home. She said she and her neighbor have no clue as to who is doing this or why.

"He doesn't know either, he's just a hardworking man and you know he's renting that house down there, he doesn't know, nobody has a clue," she said.

Wilson's landlord said he plans to install security cameras.
