A man has been arrested by the Civil Guard in the Murcia region for allegedly setting fire to three vehicles in Torre Pacheco. This arrest follows an ongoing investigation led by the authorities, known as Operation Lecai, which began in February. It was reported that the fires ignited in an industrial estate and included a large refrigerated semi-trailer, a trailer home, and a car—all parked within the area.

Emergency services, including several crews of firefighters and Civil Guard patrols, responded to the fires to prevent them from spreading. Despite their efforts, the refrigerated semi-trailer was completely destroyed. Fire safety experts later assessed the site and confirmed that the fires were deliberately started.

Investigators estimated the total damage caused to the vehicles at around fifty thousand euros. The suspect has a history of similar offences, including previous arrests for arson and property damage. After gathering sufficient evidence, the Civil Guard launched a search operation leading to his identification and arrest.

The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not ruled out the possibility of additional related offences.
