Across Baltimore, news of explosions Friday morning reminded everyone that chaos from the 2015 Baltimore Riots has never left.
Police said a warrant had been issued for the arrest of a young woman in connection with the firebombing of multiple vehicles.
Lakia Letterlough, 25, is described as 5-feet-4-inches tall and 145 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, said the Baltimore Brew (https://baltimorebrew.com/2018/12/21/for-violence-weary-baltimore-multiple-cars-set-ablaze-in-mt-vernon/). Letterlough is wanted in connection with a series of vehicle fires.
"Somebody apparently took an accelerant and put it on a number of cars — we believe seven at this point," Interim Police Commissioner Gary Tuggle said in an afternoon Friday press conference.

“Early this morning [Friday] around 3 am in Mount Vernon, there were six vehicles lit on fire, centering around the North Charles St. corridor, near Eager Street,” he wrote. “This led to 3 other vehicles catching fire.”
"For neighborhood residents, the fires and explosions sent a shower of window glass onto sidewalks at about 3 a.m. turned their relatively quiet neighborhood into something resembling a war zone," said the Brew.
According to Costello, the first “event” involved a car on “North Charles Street @ Penn Station – 1 vehicle."
The remaining events, he said, were as followed:
• 1700 block of St Paul St – 1 vehicle
• Unit block of E Lanvale St – 1 vehicle
• 1000 block of N Charles St – 1 vehicle, 2 incidental vehicles
• 1000 block of St Paul St – 1 vehicle
• Unit block of E Eager St – 1 vehicle, 2 incidental vehicles
Along with photos and videos on Twitter of the burned-out vehicles, the Mount Vernon-Belvedere Association took to social media to encourage residents to contact police with any information or security camera footage.
