There have been numerous deliberate car fires in Ramsgate during April, May and June. Charges were brought against a teenager in May in relation to some of the incidents but a police appeal was made last month after three parked cars were damaged during a suspected arson attack in Ramsgate.
Officers received a report of the fire in Price’s Avenue shortly before 2am on June 25 and attended the scene where Kent Fire and Rescue Service safely extinguished the blaze. No injuries were reported but two cars were destroyed and another damaged. The front of a nearby property was also affected.
