Gwinnett authorities are searching for two suspects who set fire to a car in the parking lot of a Motel 6 in Norcross.

Firefighters responded around 11 a.m. Thursday to a report of a silver 2001 Mercedes on fire at 6015 Oakbrook Parkway. Witnesses reported seeing two black males flee from the scene in a black Pontiac.

Authorities believe the two men doused the car with a flammable product and then set it on fire. The Mercedes belonged to a guest at the hotel.

Anyone with information about the case should call 678-518-4890.
