“On the fourth of February 2023, police responded to Rainbow Street in San Pedro where upon arrival they saw four golf carts completely damaged by fire, also the front portion of a wooden building. Evlin Cordin reported that she was asleep when she smelled smoke, woke up and then found the front of her house partially burnt and the gulf carts on fire. Fire personnel were called in and the matter is being investigated at this time.”
