NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are investigating after 11 marked and unmarked cop cars were burned at an NYPD lot in Bushwick early Thursday.

Police said fire-starting devices were found at the scene as the investigation continued Thursday.

In addition to the 11 vehicles that were burned, three vehicles had incendiary devices in them that didn't start, officials said.

The FDNY extinguished the fire, and no injuries were reported.

There was still a strong smell of gasoline in the area on Thursday morning as the investigation continued.

According to officials, it's not yet clear if the fires were connected to ongoing protests in the city. There were no recent protests in the immediate vicinity.

No arrests have been reported. Mayor Eric Adams said at an unrelated press conference that "we will find the person who is involved."
