• Pontevedra Arrested a 50-year-old woman as the alleged perpetrator of the burning of dozens of cars in Tui
  • Event They burn about thirty cars in Tui

The middle-aged woman arrested for burning dozens of cars in Tui (Pontevedra) in the early hours of Monday was throughout the day observing the device deployed in the areas that were affected and even gave statements to the press.

Like other of her neighbors, this woman described as "war" the night without truce in which the vehicles "melted" and the smoke was "appalling".

The viewing of the cameras allowed the identification and arrest of this neighbor who previously came to say that she had never experienced anything similar.

The mayor, Enrique Cabaleiro, has urged caution because this person could suffer from mental problems.

The Civil Guard has indicated that "family disagreements" are behind this chain of fires in which the author would have used an accelerating product. Residents in the area have reported that this woman had a bad relationship with her sisters.

The Tudense local government held a meeting on Sunday night to articulate aid mechanisms for those affected and in it it has been announced that a company will remove the burned vehicles.

The detainee is awaiting trial.
