Car fires continue to plague the Danish capital as eight vehicles burned in the early hours of Wednesday 31 August 2016.
In Copenhagen's Nordvest district, the site of several other similar incidents, at least one car was set on fire. Shortly before 2am police were informed that two cars were burning on Hovmestervej. It was unclear however if two separate fires had been set or if one had spread to both vehicles.

Wednesday also saw the car fires spread out to the suburbs. One delivery truck and five cars were torched in Gladsaxe, some 10 kilometres north of downtown Copenhagen.
"We have made a preliminary investigation and technicians will soon determine whether the fire started in one car and then spread or how it all ties together," Lars Guldborg from Copenhagen Vestegn Police told news agency Ritzau.
40 car burnings this month
The eight new cars that suffered fire damage early on Wednesday follow six that were set afire on Tuesday. Since August 19th there have been around 40 reported vehicle fires.
