Another car fire in Arnhem, despite earlier arrest in case | NOW

A car fire raged in Arnhem on Monday evening. It was at least the 21st car fire in the Gelderland capital in a short time.

The car burned out on Boxtelstraat, the police spokesman confirms after a message from Omroep Gelderland.

The police are investigating whether the fire was started. It is also examined whether there is a connection with the previous fires. The fire brigade and police in Arnhem have been investigating the large amount of car fires in the city in recent weeks.

On Saturday, a 39-year-old man was arrested as a suspect in the case, but two car fires have raged since then.

The police do not rule out more arrests

The suspect is still in custody, police confirm. The police do not rule out more arrests soon.

Almost all fires took place in residential areas. A number of times houses had to be evacuated because of the smoke released by the fires. Since then, more surveillance has taken place in a number of neighborhoods.
