The spate of car fires, which hit Los Angeles on Thursday, continued into the first day of 2012.
According to reports of international news agencies, 40 vehicles have so far burned down, 4 of which were torched on New Year's Eve.
Although some of the fires spread and damaged nearby buildings, none have brought injuries.

The authorities declared a USD 35 000 reward for information leading to a conviction.
