Incendiary devices found near burned NYPD vehicles in Brooklyn: Sources

Quote:
At least 11 NYPD police cars, a mix of marked and unmarked cars, in a fenced-in parking lot in Brooklyn are believed to have been intentionally set on fire early Thursday, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation say.

Those sources say incendiary devices were found around at least three of the police vehicles. News 4 obtained a photo of what sources say was left on wheel hubs. Further details on the devices weren't immediately clear.

The search is on for at least one suspect who was dressed in black and wearing a mask, the sources say.

Police responded to reports of multiple vehicle fires at Central and DeKalb avenues, near the home of the 83rd Precinct stationhouse, around 1:30 a.m. Firefighters were called and the flames were quickly doused.

No injuries were reported.

It was unclear whether authorities were connecting the vehicle fires to the ongoing unrest.
