Torching cars has become a New Year’s tradition in France.
Back in 2010 it was an exceptionally violent New Year’s with 1,137 cars torched for the holiday.
Cars are particularly vulnerable to fire in immigrant communities.
In 2019 over 1,000 cars were burnt to a crisp on New Year’s Eve.
Last night vandals torched 200 cars in Strasbourg.
