HAMILTON -- Police and prosecutor's detectives are investigating the cause of a fire that burned 14 vehicles at Eddie's Auto Body & Towing on Youngs Road Tuesday night, police said.

The fire, reported just after 11 p.m., took several fire companies about an hour to extinguish.

Investigators went back to the scene later Tuesday and spent a considerable amount of time trying to find the cause, police Detective Lt. Jeffrey Martin.

The cause, though, is still under investigation, Martin said.

All of the burned vehicles were in a fenced yard on the property, Martin said.

A representative from Eddie's said Tuesday that the business remains open and their building was not damaged.

Detective Leonard Gadsby is leading the probe with Mercer County Prosecutor's Office detectives.

Anyone with information can contact Gadsby at 609-581-4032 or the Hamilton Police Crime Tip Hotline at 609-581-4008.
