Luxury SUV set alight by brazen arsonist in Limerick

GARDAI are investigating an arson attack on a luxury SUV which was filmed by the perpetrator before fleeing on a scrambler.

A video of the incident, which took place at around 8pm on Friday in Wallers Well, Roxboro Road, Limerick city, has been widely shared on social media.

It shows the perpetrator pouring some form of an accelerant on the Range Rover parked outside a home. He is wearing a grey coat with the hood up, a face covering and rucksack on his back.

A woman shouts at him that “there are women and children in that house” but he takes no notice. He takes out his phone and casually takes a photo or video of the SUV alight before running to his nearby scrambler and escaping.

A garda spokesperson said: “Gardaí attended the scene of criminal damage by fire caused to a vehicle in the Roxboro area of County Limerick that occurred on August 1, 2025 at approximately 8pm.”

The garda spokesperson said no injuries occurred as a result of this incident.

“Investigations are ongoing,” said the spokesperson.

Limerick Fire and Rescue Service responded to the arson attack at the social housing development, which was built in recent years, and extinguished the fire in the luxury Range Rover.
