Overview
- Firefighters first tackled a blaze that fully involved the roof truss of a vacant house and were quickly able to bring that fire under control.
- A few hours later a second building in the city centre caught fire and authorities reported that no people were inside that structure.
- Police say a search after the second blaze led to the provisional detention of a 15-year-old and a 21-year-old on suspicion of arson.
- The 15-year-old was handed to the youth welfare office and the 21-year-old was placed in a clinic as investigators noted the older suspect may have a psychological disorder.
- Authorities have not confirmed a motive or released an estimate of property damage and the cases are now with the criminal police and public prosecutor for further investigation.
