Torched???
Hyannis – Shortly after 1am this morning Hyannis Fire and Barnstable Police responded to a fully involved car fire in front of 77 Kelly Road.
Upon arrival officers learned that someone was possibly witnessed running from the scene.
Sergeant Cabral summoned a K-9 officer to initiate a track of the immediate area…
… he left no bases uncovered as he also requested Detective John York, one of Barnstable PD’s arson investigators.
When Hyannis News arrived, Patrol Officer Parache informed there was an ongoing K-9 track and advised to remain at a cautionary distance as not to contaminate the scene… more important to me was staying away from the K-9’s teeth while he was busy sniffing out a possible suspect…
The scene smelled like burnt metal as investigators interviewed the residents of 77 Kelly Road and the owner of the Dodge Charger, which was now completely totaled…
Detective York closely examined the vehicle and a crime scene photographer from Barnstable County covered all possible angles…
… the K-9 track came back empty handed.
In a brief phone conversation earlier this afternoon with a police supervisor, Hyannis News learned the incident remains under investigation.
Note : Within the last couple months there have been several arsons and suspicious fires within the village of Hyannis. Anyone with information regarding this morning’s incident, or any other suspicious fire, is urged to contact Barnstable Police at 508-775-0387.
Hyannis News will provide further updates as they become available.
