Arson suspected in school vans blast

MANTECA - Four vans belonging to East Union High School were destroyed by an explosion early Thursday.
The Manteca Police Department responded to the school about 12:30 a.m. and found three vans fully engulfed in flames and a fourth on fire, police said. The fire appears to have been sparked by someone stuffing rags into the gas tanks and igniting them, said Officer Jason Hensley, a spokesman for the Manteca Police Department.
No suspect information was available. Police said a fence near the area had been cut, and it appeared the vandal had entered at that point.
The vans shuttle athletes to sporting events. The damage was estimated at about $100,000, police said.
Rash of robberies prompts dating tips

Police suggest making the initial meeting in a well-lit and visible place, as well as telling someone where you are headed. Authorities also say to be suspicious of anyone who tries to stall for time during the meeting.
An ambush also could be upcoming if the person you are meeting does not arrive alone or looks to take you to another location, police say.
