Mysterious fire in Rione Ferrovia

It was approximately two hours when a large fire involving two cars broke out in town at Via Giovanni de Longis, a transversal street of the viale principle Di Napoli, in the Rione Ferrovia district. The toll is a completely destroyed car, a Mercedes Class A, and another car, a Kia Sportage which was parked next to it and which was damaged. The firefighters were able to establish that it was a criminal fire. The fire, despite the hour, did not escape certain inhabitants of the building in front of which the two cars were parked, which sparked the alarm and the firefighters of the provincial command arrived on site. When they arrived, the Mercedes was completely wrapped in the flames that spread to the car parked next to it. A difficult task for firefighters to master the big fire. The very fact that the car was entirely wrapped in flames gave a first index on the nature of the fire, as the authors of the incendiary attack had used an flammable liquid that they had spread throughout the vehicle to be certain that the fire has produced its effects. Other checks then confirmed the criminal nature of the fire. On the spot arrived the agents of the patrols of the prefecture of police, who found that the Mercedes belongs to a young man of 23 years old, from Bénévent, who works in a transport company. The agents listened to the owner of the Mercedes, who was the targeted car, and who said they had received no threats and that the fire has for him, for the moment, no plausible motivation. Investigators continue their investigations and, for the moment, exclude only a possible extortion mobile. They therefore assume that the incendiary attack could be linked to an element of the privacy of the car owner.
