A burglar set fire to a Coral Springs home before escaping the burning property with stolen property, authorities said Saturday.
The arson happened at the house in the 8400 block of Northwest 39th Court on March 22 around 5:30 p.m.
Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department firefighters extinguished the blaze, and investigators grew increasingly suspicious about the fire’s origins.
According to Coral Springs Police Department Officer Chris Swinson, a department spokesman, the unidentified residential burglar set the fire before fleeing the home. No surveillance footage has been found, and police currently have no information about the suspect.
It was unclear Saturday what property the burglar stole from the home.
Anyone with information about the arson is asked to call Coral Springs Police at 954-344-1800.
