Police in Dracut are investigating a “suspicious” fire that destroyed two police cruisers in the department’s parking lot on Wednesday night.
At about 9 p.m. on Wednesday, officers were responding to multiple calls when a shift supervisor received another call about a fire in the parking lot behind the police station, authorities said.
Police said they found one marked cruiser fully engulfed in flames, which firefighters from Dracut quickly extinguished. A cruiser parked beside the on-fire cruiser also sustained significant damage. Both vehicles were totaled, police said.
