Atlanta police say “incendiary devices” were found after an overnight fire that burned several motorcycles at the department’s training academy
Emergency crews responded to a fire on a parking deck at the Atlanta Police Training Academy around 2 a.m. ET and found several motorcycles on fire, Atlanta Police Department Sgt. John Chafee told CNN. “Firefighters were able to extinguish the flames and after doing so they discovered incendiary devices,” Chafee said in an email. Police didn’t provide details on the type of incendiary devices discovered or the extent of the damage to the motorcycles. It’s unclear what motivated the incidents.
The APD Path Force Unit is assigned to maintain the safety of the nearby paved walking and biking trail known as the BeltLine, according to the trail’s official website. Both early Saturday incidents are under investigation and it’s unclear whether police believe they are related. Authorities have not provided information on suspects in either incident. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp called the incidents “attacks on public safety resources.
