The Guardia Civil has arrested a suspected arsonist in Rivas-Vaciamadrid over seven fires in public spaces, with damage estimated at more than 100,000 euros. Investigators say the alleged series began in April and targeted waste containers and nearby vehicles, causing losses that total above €100,000. The arrest took place on Tuesday, October 13, after months of inquiries. Police carried out on-site inspections at the fire scenes and took statements from witnesses. Those steps helped identify the person suspected of being behind the blaze sequence. The investigation links the suspect to at least seven incendiary episodes. Officials did not provide the suspect’s age, name, or the motives behind the alleged attacks. Details such as the specific streets, the individual dates of each incident, and the exact number of containers and vehicles damaged were also not included. After the arrest, the suspect was brought before the judicial authority. The court ordered him into prison, according to the Guardia Civil. The latest confirmed status is that the accused is in custody following the judge’s decision, while the matter remains under investigation through the courts.
