The number of vehicles damaged in an arson spree last Thursday night into Friday morning has grown.

Two arson fires that damaged vehicles on Buck Drive in Bristol Township’s Fairless Hills section are believed to be linked to fires that happened nearby in Falls Township’s Fairless Hills section around the same time, investigators told LevittownNow.com.

In both cases, the vehicles were unlocked and appeared to be rummaged through. No items were reported stolen.

The two cases in Bristol Township were not reported until this week. The fire in one of the vehicles went out on its own and the other was reported to the owner’s insurance company, Bristol Township Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito.

Dippolito’s brother Rich, the fire marshal in Falls Township, said last week that the arsons in his township happened around 1:30 a.m.
