Hamilton Township police are investigating eight suspicious fires near the Brandywood Condominium Complex in Mays Landing.

The fires all occurred in the past several months near the Harding Highway complex, police said, adding that seven of the fires were intentionally set in the wooded area near Hoover Drive while another was set near building 5. The fire closest to the building filled several apartments with smoke, police said.

In total, more than 11 acres of woods was burned in the fires. No injuries were reported.

Anyone with information should contact Det. Michael Robinson at 609-625-2700 ext. 578.
