A car was heavily damaged when it caught fire in the car park in High Street, Sliema, this afternoon. Another three cars were slightly damaged.

The Peugeot 206 caught fire at about 2.30pm as it was being parked. Flames spread to other vehicles and smoke was seen coming out from the car park's Level Two. 

The flames were doused by passers-by and fire-fighters.

No one was injured but car owners were not allowed into the carpark while the fire-fighting operation was under way, for fear of smoke inhalation.
