On Saturday night, a parked car in St. Pölten burst into flames, a police spokesman confirmed a report from ORF Niederösterreich (online).
The police officers who were called tried in vain to put out the fire with a hand-held fire extinguisher. When the fire department arrived, the car was already completely engulfed in flames. Nobody was injured.
The investigation into the cause of the fire has not yet been completed, but arson is suspected, the police said on Saturday in response to an APA request. In recent months there have been several car fires at night in St. Pölten, which were caused by previously unknown arsonists.
