The Lexington Fire Department reported an empty cardboard beer case had been set on fire and placed under the bumper of a parked vehicle in K lot around 8:50 p.m. Wednesday. The fire was quickly extinguished, officials said, and the vehicle sustained minimal damage.
Male suspects were seen leaving the scene of the incident in a dark Saturn station wagon, UK police said.Two suspects were arrested Thursday night.
UK Police Chief Joe Monroe credited the arrests to surveillance cameras that caught images of the vehicle and the suspects inside.
“Our new camera system that provides extensive coverage of campus was again instrumental in assisting us with the identification of suspects in solving this crime quickly,” Monroe said.
The high-tech system provides more than 400 cameras across campus, and it was used to quickly solve an attempted robbery on South Limestone last month and proved essential in monitoring South Limestone and other areas during recent NCAA Tournament game celebrations.
