Arson attacks continue to plague South Wales, with vehicles targeted in Rhondda Cynon Taf, prompting police to seek public assistance.
Rhondda Cynon Taf: Over the weekend, a few cars were set on fire in a troubling series of arson incidents. This time, it happened in Rhondda Cynon Taf, and it’s got everyone on edge.
On Friday night, three vehicles were torched, and the police are really hoping someone can help them catch the two hooded suspects seen on CCTV. A spokesperson from South Wales Police mentioned that the fires were likely started between 8:30 and 9:30 PM.
One of the cars was parked right outside a family home in Llanharan, where a young child was present. Can you imagine? Then, shortly after, two more cars went up in flames in Rhydyfelin. It’s just wild.
One local even took to social media, asking for help to identify the culprits. He was understandably upset, saying, “They just set my next door neighbours’ cars on fire and ran off.”
There’s also been chatter about whether these incidents are connected to earlier arson attacks in the Vale of Glamorgan. Just a few days before, several cars were set ablaze in Dinas Powys, including one belonging to a woman who had just passed away.
If anyone has any info or footage that could help the police, they’re urging you to call 101 and provide the reference numbers they’ve shared. It’s a tough time for the community, and any help could make a difference.
