Severe Arson Vagnhärad 2023-12-02

A decision has been made to discontinue the preliminary investigation of severe arson in Vagnhärad that occurred on 2023-12-02.

On the night of 2023-12-02, a fire broke out in a building in Vagnhärad. The building housed several businesses, including an ICA store, a pizzeria, and a hairdresser, and burned down to the ground.

During the preliminary investigation, we have been able to establish that the fire was intentional and started in the part of the building where the pizzeria was located. At least two perpetrators are suspected to have been involved in the arson.

- We have not been able to identify the individuals who started the fire, and therefore the preliminary investigation is being discontinued.

Further investigative measures are currently not expected to change the outcome of the investigation.

If new information becomes available, the preliminary investigation can be reopened.

The decision to discontinue the preliminary investigation was made by Daniel Eriksson.
