A MG ZS SUV was destroyed by fire on Saturday afternoon in the underground car park at MovieTowne, Port of Spain.

Around 2:30 p.m., officers responded to the scene and met fire officers from Wrightson Road Fire Station, including FSSO Gill, who confirmed the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

The vehicle owner, of Crown Trace, Laventille, told police he was reversing out of a parking space when a passer-by alerted him that his car was on fire. He immediately exited and contacted the Fire Service. The blaze destroyed his newly purchased vehicle and he reported the loss of cash, bank cards, a driver’s permit, and a cellphone.
