A total of 10 cars burned down Tuesday night in Sofia's Mladost residential district, the Sofia Directorate of the Ministry of Interior reported.

The owners of the vehicles have no criminal records and the investigating authorities have so far found no connection between them.

Little after after 10 p.m on Tuesday, the police received a signal that a BMW, a Citroen Saxo and a Renault Megane had been set alight in the Mladost-3 district.

At around 11.35 p.m, a second tip-off was given that another 3 vehicles, a Ford Focus, a Mercedes and a Toyota, had been torched in front of Block 319.

At 00:45 a.m., the police received a call about another four vehicles that had been set ablaze in Sofia's Mladost-2 district, this time a Fiat Punto, a Skoda Octavia, a Volvo, and an Opel Astra.

The car arsons have also affected nearby vehicles.

A team of officers from Sofia's 7th Regional Police Directorate is working on the case.

In April 2009, 10 cars burned down overnight in three residential districts in Sofia, five of them in Mladost-1, three in Slatina and another two in Moderno Predgradie.
