Emergency services and police were alerted to the scene shortly after 1am during the night until Saturday. There were several cars that were burning in a parking lot next to the Konstnärsvägen in Halmstad. The fire should have started in a car and then spread to nearby cars.

Once in place, the rescue services managed to fight the fire, which was fully developed, in half an hour. Eleven cars were damaged in total, two of which were totally destroyed.

Has testimony

Police suspect the fire was set but at present there are no arrests.

"We have a witness who has provided us with good information, observations that may be important in this particular case, we will continue to work on it and see if it is correct or not," said police spokesman Christer Fuxborg.

Damage through fire

According to the police, there was no risk of spread to real estate and right now the incident is classified as damage by fire.

- Since there are so many cars and large scale it could be changed to serious damage, but that is nothing I have yet to get, says Christer Fuxborg.
