IT WAS a bad day for cars in Limassol yesterday as five were damaged in two separate incidents in the early hours. At around 2am, one parked car owned by a 50-year-old sustained extensive damage after a factory-made firecracker placed between the front bonnet and windshield exploded.
Fifteen minutes earlier, at a car park in another area, fire damaged four cars owned by another 50-year-old man. The fire appears to have started on one car and then spread to the others.
The blaze was put out by the fire services but not before completely destroying one of the cars. Two were left considerably damaged while the fourth sustained minor damage.
