A car was seen on fire in a residential street amid a spate of vehicle break-ins in a Cardiff neighbourhood. Residents on Cambridge Street in Grangetown say the unknown Ford was left abandoned on the road, before its windows were smashed in.
It was then engulfed in flames a few days later at around 11pm on Monday, June 27. The sound of the car horn and alarm woke up the "whole street", with people "rushing around, panicking" as they moved their own cars away from the fire.
It is unclear whether the vehicle was deliberately set on fire or if it was due to an electrical fault, but some residents believe it is an escalation of what has been described as an "epidemic" of violent car break-ins in Grangetown. You can read all our Cardiff stories here.
