2 cars destroyed by suspicious fire in Yuen Long parking lot, arson investigation launched

Two private vehicles were completely destroyed and two others damaged in a suspected arson attack at an open-air parking lot on Wing Ning Tsuen, Long Ping Road, Yuen Long during the early hours of Tuesday. Firefighters responded to reports of blazing vehicles at approximately 3:00am and quickly extinguished the flames.

The intensively burned vehicles exposed mechanical components and reduced seats to metal frames, while two adjacent cars sustained minor damage from the spreading fire. Witness accounts described a BMW sedan entering the parking lot and stopping near the affected vehicles shortly before the fire erupted.

Police have classified the case as arson and are reviewing closed-circuit television footage to identify suspects. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities examine the scene for evidence regarding the suspicious ignition.
