FIRES set deliberately......by kids

(4-5) Children ranging in ages from 5 yrs old-13 yrs old are setting objects on fire in our neighborhood. On 5/ 11-5/12, they set long plant stalks and newspaper on fire under a dilapidated, plywood framed landscape type trailer w/ hitch loaded with dry hardwood mulch. They deliberately started the fire under the trailer on dry ground. The trailer has been sitting in the same location since the 2011 tornado. This is very dangerous! This is the second episode that our neighborhood is aware of and we are VERY concerned.
A 911 call was made yesterday and the police officer met with neighbors to discuss. The police report # is: P15-025435. Please contact the City of Raleigh police with any information regarding these kids and or any suspicious activity that fits these kids or this case. The responding police officer urged anyone that has information regarding any similar activity or the whereabouts of these kids, to please call the police department. These kids have also vandalized and damaged our property over the last few months, and have also created dangerous driving "obstacle" conditions in the street on Iron Horse Rd. This situation is only going to get worse. Please notify the police dept. if you see kids that appear to be unsupervised and doing harm to our properties.
