The Guardia Civil has arrest a forty-six-year-old Spanish man for allegedly committing arson in Torrevieja. The man reportedly set fire to a vehicle following a heated dispute with a neighbour over the condition of the latter’s car. This single act led to flames spreading, affecting two other vehicles parked nearby.

The incident occurred on February twenty-sixth, when the Guardia Civil received multiple calls about a confrontation in a local street. Witnesses stated that the suspect threatened to set the car on fire during the argument, and hours later, the arson took place around five thirty in the morning. The blaze resulted in two cars being completely destroyed and one sustaining serious damage.

Firefighters successfully controlled the fire, after which investigators began gathering evidence to identify the culprit. Through their analysis, they established the suspect’s presence at the scene of the incident, corroborating his connection to the arson.

The arrested individual, who has no previous criminal record, has been charged with arson damage and has since been released under precautionary measures by the Instruction Court number two in Torrevieja.
