The alarm was received by the police at 00.40.
Witnesses are said to have seen two people set fire to a car and then run from the scene.
- The police are extremely dependent on the public on these occasions and are grateful that witnesses called in quickly.
When we get observations, we have a chance to succeed.
So we want tips and we want it fast, says Johnny Gustavsson, the police's press spokesperson.
The police carried out a crime scene investigation and are said to have secured some traces.
However, the police do not want to go into what this is about.
Many cars on fire during the Easter weekend
There have been several car fires in Katrineholm during the Easter weekend.
During the night until Good Friday, cars burned at four different addresses in the municipality within half an hour.
On the night before Sunday, a car burned in a parking lot on Oppundavägen in Katrineholm.
If the car fires in Katrineholm have anything to do with riots in several cities, there is nothing that the police can confirm.
- It is clear that it may have something to do with it, but it does not have to have any connection.
We simply do not know.
This is not the first time it has burned in Katrineholm and not the last, says Johnny Gustavsson.
No person has been arrested yet.
A report of damage by fire has been made.
