A car caught fire in the Lange Nieuwstraat in Tilburg last night. This morning, a burning smell, a petrol tap and a tank on the street still remind us of the fire. There is also a large black spot where the car was parked. A police spokesman said this morning that it was an arson attack. Another car was damaged in the fire.
This night was the fourth consecutive night that the city has been affected by car fires. Previously, it was the turn of cars on Bachlaan, Mozartlaan and Edmond Meelisirf. Last night’s fire is being considered by the police in the investigation of the other fires.
The police also suspect arson in the two fires in Tilburg-Noord, at Mozartlaan and Bachlaan. According to the police, no arson has been established at the Edmond Meeliserf. The cause could also be a technical defect.
