The cars must have been in a parking lot and the police, who received the alarm at 1:40 am the night before Tuesday, classify the incident as damage by fire.

"We have a burned out car there and two more vehicles that have received secondary damage," says Magnus Nordqvist, the police officer on duty. We have classified it as an injury, so we believe that someone has done it, not that it has self-ignited.

Now the incident is a police investigation, but at present no person has been arrested.

More car fires during Monday

Two car fires were also reported in Halmstad on Monday. A fire was reported at Grönevångs torg at 01:57 the night until Monday and at 20.10 an alarm came about a fire in a luggage compartment on a car at Vallås.
