A 45-year-old Williamsville man es­caped un­harmed af­ter his home and car were fire­bombed on Sun­day night.

The vic­tim was asleep around 10.30 pm in his ply­wood home when he heard crack­ing sounds com­ing from out­side. On check­ing, he saw his $65,000 Elantra mo­tor ve­hi­cle, which was parked in an open area in front of his house on fire, and two sus­pects wear­ing dark cloth­ing throw­ing mis­siles at his home, caus­ing the struc­ture to be­come en­gulfed in flames.

As he ran to neigh­bour’s home for as­sis­tance, he heard loud ex­plo­sions. The house was val­ued at $120,000.

Fire­fight­ers from the Mon Re­pos Fire Sta­tion ex­tin­guished the flames.

PC Narace of the Gas­par­il­lo Po­lice Sta­tion is in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
