Woman torches shacks and cars after fight with lover
Eastern Cape Police are on the lookout for a 25-year-old woman who allegedly burnt down five shacks and three cars in Missionvale . Spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said the woman allegedly threatened to burn down his boyfriend’s shack on Saturday, following an argument.
“It is alleged that earlier on the evening of 12 March 2022, the complainant, 25, and his girlfriend had an argument where she allegedly threatened to burn down his shack at Rolihlahla squatter camp. The complainant ignored the threat and went to a nearby tavern with friends. At about 1:30 this morning, he was informed that his shack was alight. The fire spread to four other shacks. All the shacks were completely gutted. Three vehicles that were in the complainant’s yard were also burnt,” Colonel Naidu said.
“No one was injured and the fire department extinguished the fire.“
