OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City Police said they believe a stolen U-Haul truck was intentionally set on fire at Kelly Avenue and Hefner Road to get rid of the truck's contents.

Hazmat crews discovered the U-Haul contained five tanks of ammonia.

The area was shut down while authorities looked for clues and cleaned up the scene.

Police said ammonia is one of the ingredients used to make meth. However, they said they are not sure who the ammonia belonged to or how it was going to be used.

Police are looking for the person or people responsible for the blaze. Anyone with information should call police.
