Video shot by Global News shows a stolen pickup truck engulfed in flames in a Mississauga neighbourhood Thursday morning.
It happened around 7:30 a.m. on Valmarie Avenue, in the area of McBride Avenue and Erindale Station Road.
The pickup, which was parked on the side of the road, was fully engulfed in flames before Mississauga firefighters arrived on scene. Within minutes of their arrival, the fire was extinguished.
A firefighter and police on scene said the vehicle was stolen and a police spokesperson later confirmed to Global News that was the case.
It’s not clear where it was stolen from.
A neighbour told Global News home surveillance video shows the pickup being parked on the street after 12:30 a.m. The fire happened around seven hours later, and he said he believes it was set ablaze.
A resident who lives nearby said their work truck that had tools inside was also stolen overnight, though it wasn’t the vehicle that caught fire.
The police spokesperson didn’t confirm whether or not arson was suspected.
No injuries have been reported.
No suspect information is available and Peel Regional Police are continuing to investigate.
