A 27-year-old man was therefore arrested in flagrante delicto : he will have to answer for the crime of damage followed by fire and resisting a public official.
The events on the night of January 4th : the agents of the Iglesias police station, during the usual territorial control services, noticed a car on fire in a street in the city centre. The fire, which was immediately put out by the timely intervention of the Fire Brigade, nevertheless destroyed the vehicle, also causing damage to the facade of the building where the car was parked.
The police acquired images from the video cameras around the building, thanks to which they managed to identify a man, a 27-year-old from the area, who a few minutes earlier was wandering around the burning vehicle.
The 27-year-old, already known to the police due to other police precedents, was then reached by the police in his home where flammable ignition material was found.
Following what was ascertained from the videos and from what was found on site, the man was accompanied to the offices of the Iglesias police station, where he took on a violent and threatening attitude towards the officers.
Following the hearing, the investigating judge validated the arrest .
