An Irish pub was burned to the ground after being gutted by a huge blaze in Mijas in the early hours of this Thursday morning, 28 September.
The Harp Bar, located on Avenida de España in Calahonda , was destroyed by the flames, which startled residents in the area at around 5.20am.
After the alarm was raised, the 112 Andalucía emergency services control room quickly mobilised the fire brigade, as well as the Local Police and Guardia Civil.
Explosions were heard and a huge plume of smoke rose from the fire as emergency services rushed to the scene to try to put out the blaze.
Harp Bar owner Zoltan Eisenberger reported to the Guardia Civil on Thursday that a private security camera had recorded images of a hooded individual approaching the premises between 5 and 5.30am that morning.
In the crime report, seen by SUR in English, the owner stated that the individual was carrying a can that apparently contained fuel. The footage then shows a flash and the individual running from the scene, according to the statement.
The images are now in the hands of the Guardia Civil.
The management of the bar posted a message on social media following the "terrible incident" and promising "we will rebuild our wonderful little bar and make it even better than before."
The message, in full, read...
