Kaieteur News – The storage facility of the Lusignan, East Coast of Demerara Caricom Auto Sales was destroyed by a fire yesterday around 14:00 hours. The fire has since been deemed an act of arson. According to information released by the Fire Service, the fire was reportedly started by a paper soaked in gasoline that was thrown into the building.
Owner of the property, Imran Inshan, disclosed to the media that he was not far away when the fire occurred and he managed to see smoke emerging from the building. He said his employees were seen running out of the building.
Fire fighters, this publication was told, arrived on the scene promptly and managed to save a window factory and a house that are in close proximity to the auto shop.
It was reported that a man came into the store inquiring about a specific part for his car but was told by employees that they did not have the product available. Following that the man allegedly lit a piece of paper with gasoline and threw it into the office area. The fire spread rapidly due to the gasoline and the building soon became engulfed in flames.
The man then made good his escape on a bicycle. The employees stated that they were unable to see the man’s face since he was wearing a mask.
The businessman has estimated his losses to be in excess of over $80 million in vehicle parts, while the building itself is valued at $70 million.
Police have since launched an investigation into the matter and this publication was informed that CCTV footage from around the area will be reviewed.
