Officials have determined that a Wednesday night fire at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Los Angelos was likely arson, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Authorities said it appears that someone threw a brick to break through the window of the clinic — in L.A.’s Thousand Oaks neighborhood — tossed gasoline into the clinic’s interior and lit a flame. No one was injured, authorities said.

According to Ventura County Sheriff Department detective Tim Lohman, the clinic’s sprinkler system put out the fire before any serious damage was done, but a few plants by the window appeared burnt.

Six weeks prior to apparent arson attempt, the same Planned Parenthood clinic had been vandalized, the Los Angeles Times reported.
