Metropolitan police are searching for a person who set an ambulance on fire in Northeast, D.C. over the weekend. The arsonist was caught on camera moments before the ambulance went up into flames in the 200 block of K St. in Northeast, D.C.
The video shows the man walking Peter Luce's driveway. One minute later, he turns around and walks back and into his driveway.
Minutes later, the masked man is seen walking, then running away without the bag.
Shortly after, the neighbor's surveillance camera catches the ambulance going up in flames.
Luce and his girlfriend were up watching a movie at the time. He said they heard a loud, popping noise and ran outside. When they got out, the ambulance fully engulfed.
"We've never had an arson," he said.
"We've never had someone set anything on fire."
Luce is a part of the BeatBox D.C. non-profit, a group that supports the arts in the District. The organization used the ambulance as a mobile sound system and platform for different types of eye-popping structure. Luce and his team would bring the dressed up vehicle to block parties and community events like the H Street Festival.
