A van was burnt to a shell next to a popular Cardiff park. The decimated Mercedes was spotted on Monday morning, July 11, in Heath Park's car park, which is right next to the park's playground.
The car park, which has pedestrian access to the Heath Hospital, is used as an extra pay-and-display facility for hospital staff, and provides free parking for two hours for park users. Some residents have speculated whether the van belonged to a hospital worker who was on a night shift, but others say it was a stolen car that was vandalised.
South Wales Police could not confirm if the car was stolen, but said officers had spoken to the owner of the vehicle and no further action is planned. Local resident Robert Newcombe recalled he was disturbed by the incident in the early hours of Monday.
