Car damaged by fire

A MAN’S car was set on fire in the Larnaca district yesterday, causing extensive damage.

Neighbours became aware of the fire in the early hours of yesterday morning and notified the 47-year-old owner of the car, which was parked in an open field nearby.

The owner managed to put out the fire with an extinguisher, but not before the car was severely damaged.

Kiti police are investigating the case, and have not ruled out arson.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
