According to the Manchester Township Police Department, officers responded at approximately 6:39 a.m. on June 9 to the area of County Road 539 and McMahon Avenue following reports of a vehicle fire.

Upon arrival, officers found a black 2006 Toyota Camry fully engulfed in flames. Police confirmed the vehicle was unoccupied and established a safety perimeter while firefighters responded to the scene.
