Campbell Car Fire Believed to Be Suspicious: Officials

A stolen van parked in Campbell caught fire on Wednesday, and officials said the nature of the blaze appears to be suspicious.

The vehicle, which was found along the 600 block of Hamilton Avenue, was not in a parking spot and was partially blocking a driveway when crews arrived during the early morning hours, according to police.

Kiana Dickson, who lives nearby, said she was woken up to a loud boom around 2:40 a.m. She looked outside her home and saw the van engulfed in flames.

San Jose fire crews extinguished the blaze, according to police. 

The Santa Clara County Fire Department is handling the investigation.
