An industrial car yard in Perth’s south has been hit in a suspected arson attack. 

Several cars were engulfed in flames in Port Kennedy, with explosions audible from neighboring areas.

Around 9:30 pm last night, seven cars caught fire, turning the Paxton Way auto repair shop into what appeared to be an inferno.

Witness Aimee Leigh Brown stated, “I heard a bang followed by another loud one.”

“I was a little bit worried, I didn’t want to come out. And yeah just a lot of noise for a very quiet area.”

Emergency crews forced their way on to the property, cutting through a wire fence to fight the flames

A nearby paint workshop full of flammable liquids was another concern for firefighters.

Car owners arrived today to see what was left.

The investigation is ongoing but police believe it could be the work of an arsonist.
