Two Stolen Vehicles Found Burning On Dead End Molino Street Early Sunday

August 27, 2023

An investigation is underway after two stolen vehicles were found burning early Sunday morning in Molino.

The vehicles were parked at the end of Wesley Circle, a dead end road north of Brickton Road. Escambia County Fire Rescue responded about 4:40 a.m. to find the adjacent vehicles fully involved in fire.

Both were completely destroyed. The fire also sparked a small brush fire in an adjacent wooded area.

According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, both vehicles were stolen earlier this month.

The ECSO is investigating the vehicle thefts, while the Florida State Fire Marshal is investigating the fires.

There were no injuries reported.

    The smaller car was my daughter’s, she loved that car. She bought it and was working so hard to pay for it when she was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer. She worked as long as she could physically before having to stay home and let us care for her. It was only a little over a year after being diagnosed that she passed on to be with our Lord Jesus. She had just turned 21. The love she had for her car that she worked so very hard for, we took on in her passing. When I wanted to be surrounded by her, I would just go outside and sit in it. When I couldn’t sleep, I would sit for hours and at times it was the only place I did rest. It was just a car, yes, but it was her car and something we treasured as a family and we were privileged to have it for our transportation. Now, not only is she gone but it is also, and our transportation as well. It was a 2013 Buick Verano, crimson red in color. I pray that God have mercy on those who took it.

    Every time I see something like this, I think “she did it again”

    Just in case whomever knows who done this or know of this & has information please contact Sherriffs dept….the car belonged to a family who just lost their adult daughter to cancer–it was her car & what the family held close to their hearts to be close to her. Her young brothers & mother are devastated hoping that car would’ve been found unharmed. That person/s who stole & did this are heartless & need to be turned in!!

    Bad enough to steal. Stealing just to destroy even worse.

    David for better people
