Teen Torches Cars in Violent Rampage

A 19-year-old named Aiden Logrande is accused of setting fire to two vehicles in Washington Township, New Jersey. The first incident, reported on June 27, involved a parked car on Tara Drive where a window was allegedly smashed, flammable liquid poured inside, and the vehicle set ablaze. A short time later, police responded to a similar incident near Harrogate Court and Tenby Drive. Both fire scenes are located in residential areas approximately half a mile apart.

During the investigation, officers seized a hatchet believed to have been used in the alleged torchings. Logrande, from Turnersville, was taken into custody following the second incident. He has been charged with two counts of arson, multiple counts of criminal mischief, and a weapons offense. The investigation is ongoing, with additional charges brought against him concerning criminal mischief incidents in the Washington Place and Bunker Hill condominium developments. Authorities are seeking public assistance for further information.
