A car which was burnt out in Old Coulsdon was done so deliberately, according to firefighters.
The crew from Purley fire station were called out on Saturday night to reports of a burning car in Waddington Avenue.
It is believed the fire in the Fiesta started in the passenger compartment in the dashboard.
A spokesman for the brigade said it was what is known by the fire service as a 'deliberate ignition by persons'.
The car was left completely burnt out as a result and police are now investigating the incident.
