Residents worried by fresh outbreak of fire attacks

TWO arson attacks have left Saltpans residents very worried.

Families believe the recurring problem is becoming increasingly dangerous after two more charred vehicles were found on the road yesterday morning.

Carer Mena McKane, who lives very near the scene, was shocked to see the wreckage of the Monday night incident.

‘I have never seen it this bad before, it is absolutely terrible,’ she said.

A truck and a car were both burned out.

Mrs McKane said it was a lovely place to live, apart from the dumped old cars, which nobody moved.

‘It is quite frightening because once a car goes up in flames you don’t know what else could go up with it,’ she said.

Her son, Kiley Michel, 37, and his sons, Branden, 10, and Orlando, 5, live within earshot but did not hear anything.

‘It is the second or third time this has happened recently and I would like to see them moved,’ said Mr Michel, who works at Castle Cornet.

Fellow Saltpans resident Lynette Le Huray said she feared for passing children.

‘It is awful, dreadful, that these cars are left to rot here and then get burned too,’ she said. (from thisisguernsey)

mmm seems to me someone with a grudge..

this has been going on for many years now.there are cars left to rot there
it is states owned land?
get rid of all unwanted and dumped cars on the island they look an eyesore /
you have already paid to have them dumped on your extra car taxes .
the states need to update the laws giving them the power to remove and dump cars like this
