Fort Myers police are investigating an early Friday morning truck arson on Thomas Street.

A pickup truck in the driveway of the home on Thomas Street, between Edison Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, has damage on the passenger side. The homeowner tells WINK News that her security cameras show a man pouring something on her truck before the fire. She says she doesn’t know why someone would do that.
