BLUEFIELD, W.Va. -- Bluefield Police officers arriving to work Friday morning found one of their police cruisers engulfed in flames.

Someone set the car ablaze with an accelerant, most likely gasoline, at about 5 a.m. on the department's parking lot along Rogers Street, Sgt. G.W. Lightfoot said.

No one was injured, but the fire destroyed the cruiser. Lightfoot said detectives are reviewing hours of footage from the department's many security cameras nearby.

Anyone who saw anything suspicious Friday morning is asked to call the Bluefield Police Department at 304-327-6101.
