The morning before, residents in Ottawa's Westboro neighbourhood awoke to find several vehicles in a used car lot had been set on fire.

City crews were called to Lees Avenue on Wednesday to scrape broken glass off the asphalt around several parked cars with their windows smashed out.

Fredy Afif left his home Wednesday morning to find that all of the windows had been shattered on his Honda Accord.

"Like, what the hell? They didn't even steal anything from it and I have my GPS and my sunglasses," he said.

"They didn't even take anything, so I don't know why they did this."

Afif, who is from Lebanon, needed his car Wednesday to go to his citizenship ceremony.

"I gotta go," he said. "I have to be there in 10 minutes."

Across town at the used car lot on Churchill Avenue where several cars were burned, an insurance adjuster was surveying the damage from the fires.

"So what they were doing is they open up and they stuff a rag inside there and they light it and then they run," he said.

According to a police media release, a man was seen running from a vehicle fire near Tweedsmuir Avenue and Byron Street.

He's described as slender man around six feet tall, who was wearing a white T-shirt.

Police said the majority of the damage was done to seven vehicles in the dealership lot on Churchill Avenue.

Four other vehicles in the area, including a backhoe, also suffered fire damage.

John Krabiac, who lives near the lot, said the flames from the cars damaged his house.

"I could not see the police or the firemen because the smoke was so high that I could not see the road … so I got shocked at what to do."

Eric Babb, who lives further down the street, also surveyed the damaged cars on Wednesday morning.

"I noticed they hit all the nice luxury cars. People that don't have anything are just jealous of other people and their possessions," he said.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they came up from the bus stop down here at the corner."

The Ottawa Police Arson Unit and Ottawa Fire Services are investigating the incident, which they're calling a series of arsons.
