Sony warehouse burns in London riots
The facility was the hub of U.K. distribution for optical discs, including Blu-rays, DVDs, games, music, and films.
A major Sony warehouse responsible for distributing optical discs, such as Blu-rays, DVDs, games, music, and films, has been destroyed by rioters in London.
The warehouse in Enfield, one of the flash points of the London riots, was set alight in the late hours last night, Sony confirmed.
"The fire is under control but can be described as 'smoldering' and consequently no one can enter the facility," a Sony spokeswoman told ZDNet UK today. "Therefore at this time we are unable to confirm the extent of the damage or the cause until the fire is fully extinguished and a full investigation can be carried out by the authorities."
