Officers also discovered what are believed to be bullet holes in the engine bonnet

Halifax Regional Police say a stolen vehicle that appears to have struck a Dartmouth school was intentionally set on fire.

Emergency crews were called to Dartmouth High School at around 3:30 a.m. Monday where they found the vehicle fully engulfed in flames.

After the fire was extinguished, officers discovered what they believe to be bullet holes in the vehicle's engine bonnet.

Investigators tracked down the owner and say it had been stolen overnight.

There was only minimal damage to the Victoria Rd. high school.

Police are now looking to speak with witnesses who may have been in the area at that time, or anyone who might know where the bullet holes came from. Investigators can be contacted at 902-490-5020 and anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers.
