The first European Car Fire Championships...

It's about time for a formal competition, no??? While the French are favorites to win, the Dutch are catching up....

Another two cars were set on fire in Amsterdam-West on Thursday night. The vehicles were parked in the Antony Moddermanstraat in the district of Geuzenveld-Slotermeer.

The police say it is unclear whether there is a connection with the other car fires that have plagued Amsterdam-West for the past two weeks after a police officer shot and killed an area resident.

Cars have been set on fire in the districts of Osdorp, Slotervaart and Geuzenveld-Slotermeer almost daily since 15 October. On Wednesday night another car in the Buitenveldert neighbourhood went up in flames.

The police still have not arrested any suspects for the recent fires. A number of young men suspected of planning arson attempts were arrested last weekend.
