Buckeye police investigate possible arson

Buckeye police are investigating an arson that damaged two vehicles and a garage door Wednesday night in Crystal Vista.

Officers responded at about 10:15 p.m. to a Gregory Road home near Apache and Broadway roads. Police received reports of an active fire in the driveway.

Firefighters extinguished the flames. The fire damaged two vehicles and the home’s garage door, but no one was injured.

Investigators determined someone intentionally set the fire. Police also believe the home or vehicle was specifically targeted.

In a Facebook post, resident Athena Medina said someone set her fiancé’s SUV on fire at about 10:12 p.m. 

Medina said a neighbor’s security camera captured two men near the scene. She described one as wearing a white T-shirt and shorts. The other reportedly wore a black hoodie.

Her fiancé also reported seeing a woman and two men near the corner. However, he could not provide additional descriptions.

Medina asked nearby residents to review their security cameras and share any footage that might be helpful.

“Thank God my kids and house are good,” Medina wrote.

Buckeye Police Department has not released an official suspect description or possible motive. Police also have not announced any arrests.

Anyone with information should call the department’s nonemergency number at 623-349-5050. Residents may also submit information through the city’s online crime tip form.
