Sweden car fires: Third arson suspect detained in Turkey

A third man, suspected of being involved in a spate of car fires in Sweden, has been detained by Turkish police, the Local reported. The man, in his 20s, traveled to Turkey on Tuesday but was stopped at the border. “We found out that this person left for Turkey and then [we] issued a ‘no entry’ to border police there who managed to seize him. Hopefully he is to return today and then Swedish police will take care of him,” Dan Windt, head of the southern Gothenburg policing area, told GP newspaper. Another two men, aged 16 and 21, remained in custody on suspicion of aggravated arson on Wednesday, in connection with a spate of car fires in the area around Gothenburg on Sweden’s west coast. In total, around 80 cars burned on Monday evening in attacks that infuriated officials.
