CUTLER BAY, FLA. (WSVN) - A family of three is living in fear after cars outside of their Cutler Bay home were set on fire.
The home’s Ring camera sent an alarm to the homeowner’s cellphone at around 1 a.m., Tuesday.
Surveillance video outside the home captured one person running after the Nissan sedan caught fire. Seconds later, a second car could be seen catching fire.
“She just started screaming, ‘Cars are on fire! Cars are on fire!'” said victim Christian Ramos. “I come outside and my cars are on fire. I tell my dad, ‘Oh, come out. Throw the hose!’ He threw the hose over the gate, I took the fire out of my car, this car. This car is completely ruined.”
Ramos, a senior in high school, said one of the cars was an early graduation gift for him.
The family said they are grateful the fire didn’t spread to their home or a neighbor’s.
“That’s what he used to throw the liquids on it,” said Ramos. “He went like that. He came here, Mom’s car. Ran up and went phew and ran.”
Police are now investigating the incident.
“Someone that doesn’t have a heart,” Ramos said. “Someone that doesn’t care that three were here sleeping.”
Ramos even had some words for the arsonist.
“If you’re watching this, I hope they get you,” he said. “I hope they get you because you’re lucky I didn’t get you.”
