ICYMI: Five Tesla vehicles were damaged after a fire was started at a Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas during the early hours of Tuesday, March 18.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said said several 911 calls were made at 2:45 am about a fire at the center on Badura Avenue.
“This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility,” assistant sheriff Dori Koren told a press conference.
“One caller stated they heard gunshots, that there was a subject wearing black clothing setting multiple Tesla vehicles on fire. On arrival officers discovered several vehicles on fire. As well as the word ‘resist’ spray painted on the front doors of the business.
“He used what appeared to be Molotov Cocktails and a firearm to conduct his attack. At least five Tesla vehicles were damaged… Two of which were engulfed in flames.”
