Coun David Hennigan, Ashfield Council member for Sutton Central and New Cross, said: “Apparently there was another car around the corner from this that was damaged as well according to residents, but we’re not sure if these incidents are connected, but we assume they are.

“I’ve spoken to Insp Jon Hewitt, Ashfield commander, and they were already aware of the incident of the burnt-out car which they are investigating.

“Once the investigation is done, the council will move the car and the police have said they will carry out additional patrols tonight.”
