Arsonists targeted tractor-trailers over the weekend in Maine and Oklahoma, burning a total of nine trucks between the separate incidents, according to local media reports. Also, as many as 30 trucks were destroyed in a separate warehouse fire in Miami on Monday.
No arrests have been made, nor have suspects been identified.
According to Maine’s WMTW.com, coordinated arson occurred at two R.C. Moore trucking terminals in Scarborough and Poland Sunday night. Four trucks were burned at each location, totaling approximately $1 million in damage, according to the report.
The report states the trucks were parked nose-to-nose, and firefighters were able to stop the fires from spreading to other trucks.
