A tycoon whose tyre-fitting business was destroyed by ‘jealous’ arsonists is to reopen again following a £100,000 makeover.
Zahid Khan, 29, has renovated and refitted his Bulls and Horses Auto Centre after the attack four months ago. His business was torched in the early hours of February 12. Despite offering a £25,000 reward, no-one has been arrested.
Qualified pilot Mr Khan said: “It has been a tough few months and was absolutely devastating when it first happened. There was a lot of damage and I did lose some personal items, business documents and cash."
Almost two years ago the businessman was ambushed by gun thugs as he sat in his £250,000 Rolls Royce. They demanded a £10,000 cash ransom from his relatives for his release.
Four men were later jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for a total of 41 years for blackmail and firearms offences.
The multi-millionaire put his plush home in Yardley Wood Road, Moseley, up for sale at a cool £700,000 back in February saying he wanted to sell up and leave the area due to “jealous haters.”
The luxurious property is still up for sale.
Anyone with information about the arson attack can call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
