West Covina home firebombed

WEST COVINA -- A West Covina home was firebombed with Molotov cocktail-like incendiary devices early Saturday, police said.

Three people -- a man, an elderly man and a woman -- who were inside the home in the 3200 block of Hapton Drive during the 3 a.m. attack managed to escape uninjured, police and fire officials said.

Police declined to go into more specifics about what type of incendiary devices were used, and did not release any information regarding a possible motive or suspect.

The house sustained major damage, fire officials said.

Apparently, this isn't the first time such an incident has occurred on this street.

About a month ago, the home next door was targeted in a similar attack, police said, however only a door was scorched.
