Cars torched in Larnaca

THREE vehicles were destroyed in two separate arson attacks late on Friday night and early yesterday.

Police say two abandoned cars were completely destroyed by fire at about 3.30am in Larnaca. The cars had been parked in a field.

Police had not tracked down the cars’ owner by late yesterday afternoon and are continuing investigations.

It was chained to an electricity pole in a field next to a school. Police said the fire was spotted shortly before midnight on Friday.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. 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.
