Delivery Driver Set Crew Leader’s Vehicle On Fire: North Haven Police

NORTH HAVEN, CT — A Bridgeport man is accused of lighting a vehicle on fire after a dispute Saturday morning in North Haven, according to police.

Police responded to Extra Space Storage at 453 Washington Avenue around 10 a.m. on April 19 on the report of a dispute.

“Upon arriving it was learned the complainant, a crew leader for a third-party Amazon delivery service operating out of a storage unit, got into a dispute with one of their drivers over packages delivered to the wrong address,” police wrote in a post on Facebook. “A delivery driver then lit the crew leader's vehicle on fire. The victim and other drivers extinguished the fire with water and a fire extinguisher prior to police arrival, but the vehicle sustained extensive damages to the interior passenger compartment.”

Police said a North Haven detective trained in fire investigations responded to assist patrol officers and 35-year-old Diogo Dorea Da Cunha of Bridgeport was arrested.

Da Cunha was charged with third-degree arson, reckless burning, and first-degree criminal mischief.
