Wild Night in South Jersey as Teen Sets Fire to Cars and Breaks Windshields

According to the Washington Township Police Department, a 19-year-old was taken into custody in relation to two car fires and other crimes in South Jersey.

Turnersville resident Aiden Logrande was accused of criminal mischief, arson, and possessing a weapon for illegal purposes.

Officers were called to Tara Drive on Saturday at approximately 9:45 p.m. in response to a report of a car that had been purposefully set on fire.

The home's security camera showed a man smashing the rear window of a parked automobile, filling it with flammable liquid, and setting it on fire.

A second car fire was reported in the vicinity of Tenby Drive and Harrogate Court at about the same time.

Officers looked around and discovered a man who fit the suspect's description. According to officials, they also discovered a hatchet that was probably used during the crimes.

Logrande was also accused by detectives of crimes pertaining to the Washington Place/Bunker Hill complex.

There are still unresolved charges for further cases of broken windshields.

To await a court appearance, Logrande was sent to the Salem County Correctional Facility.
