Car ablaze on Lambourne Road police investigation ensues

Fire service and police investigate a burning vehicle on Lambourne Road.

At 2.30am on Tuesday 26th January a local resident was woken by his security alarm after he initially heard a loud bang. When the resident got himself up and exited his home to see what had caused the commotion, he saw that a vehicle was on fire opposite 52 Lambourne Road.  The resident immediately called both the fire service and emergency police. 

The resident noticed that there were Jerry cans and unknown items in a black bag near the blazing car.  Moreover the car could not be opened without breaking the glass of the windows so must have been locked.

Mr Chowdhry our Chairman is in direct contact with the district policing team and received the following response from PC Walker.

Dear Wilson Chowdhry,
                    
"This matter is still under investigation. It is yet to be established if this was a vehicle defect, accidental or arson. There were no injuries caused as a result of this fire."

Regards

Mr Chowdhry, said:

"It is a relief that no-one was injured in this incident.

"CRRA remain interested in whether or not the fire began by defect, accident or arson as the latter of the three places residents at risk.

"We will continue to update you on this matter once police have completed their investigation."

CRRA hope that this information has been useful and and has quelled concerns about potential injuries.

    Wilson presumably ran very quickly from Daylop Drive to the fire. Hope he was decently dressed.
