Law enforcement officials said that at about 12:45 a.m. on Sunday, police were investigating a scene along the 5000 block of Aspen Street in West Philadelphia, after someone -- police have not yet named any individual, or individuals sought in this case -- attempted to burn the front porch of a home, along with a vehicle parked out front.
