Police investigate Lakewood fire ignited with Molotov cocktails
Police say they are investigating an early morning fire at the High Point Condominiums that was apparently started by a pair of Molotov cocktails thrown through a window.
Police received a 911 call at 6:20 a.m. from the occupants of Apartment No. 5 in building 25, who reported a fire in the unit’s bedroom, said Capt. Thomas Hayes, a spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
None of the four apartment occupants were harmed in the incident, Hayes said, and the fire was quickly contained and extinguished with minimal damage.
Lakewood Detective Steve Wexler and Sgt. Robert Abrams of the Prosecutor’s Office are investigating the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact them at either (732) 363-0200 or (732) 929-2027.
