INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Arson investigators are looking into a Friday morning fire at a liquor store on the near east side of Indianapolis.

Indianapolis Fire Department crews were called just after 5:30 a.m. to a fire at the Liquor Barn, 4215 E. New York Street.

Firefighters quickly got things under control and then found evidence that someone might have tried to light the building on fire, crews at the scene told News 8.

No one was inside the Liquor Barn when the fire began and the building was locked up for the night.

IFD didn’t say how badly the building was damaged or if it would be able to open for business on Friday.

Anyone with information was asked to call the Indiana Arson Hotline at 800-382-4628, or the IFD/IMPD Fire Investigations office at 317-327-6700.
