A car dealership in Anderson County, South Carolina was gutted by fire, and authorities later determined that a lone thief who stole several cars had set the blaze. The man likely started the fire in an attempt to destroy evidence of his crimes.

Combining grand theft auto with arson reflects a brazen effort to cover his tracks. The destructive scheme left the dealership in ruins while compounding the charges the suspect will face, turning one crime into a far more serious series of offenses.
