Odesa police have swiftly identified and apprehended an individual responsible for setting cars ablaze in an underground parking facility in Arcadia. The suspect was detained the same day, facing a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

This information was shared by the press service of the National Police.

A few days ago, during the curfew, a man unlawfully entered the parking area of a residential building, doused two BMW vehicles owned by a local woman with gasoline, and set them on fire. The blaze quickly spread to nearby parked BMW and Hyundai cars belonging to local men. Firefighters managed to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, no one was injured.

Authorities determined that the crime was committed by a 27-year-old resident of Mykolaiv. He was arrested while attempting to return home on a minibus. The suspect has been charged with intentional damage to someone else's property by arson. The court has imposed a preventive measure of detention with the possibility of bail set at 908,400 UAH. He faces a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
