Luxury cars set on fire in ‘racial attack’ at Somerton Park vehicle dealership

Luxury cars at a dealership in suburban Adelaide have been destroyed in an arson attack that staff believe was racially motivated.

Two cars were destroyed and two others damaged in the fire that started about 5:45am at Motor Hut car yard on Brighton Road in beachside Somerton Park.

Graffiti sprayed on the walls of the business stated “go home” and “f*** off”.

Speaking on behalf of the business, saleswoman Hannah Paine said some of her colleagues were from Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.

She said the incident was “concerning and upsetting”.
