At half past one on Thursday, a police patrol discovered that there was a fire in a colonist's cottage on Kopparhögarna in Landskrona.

– The cottage was completely destroyed and there was a risk of spreading according to the rescue service, says Calle Persson, press spokesperson for police region South.

No person should have been in the cottage and the owner has been informed.

The fire is classified as arson but the cause of the fire remains unclear. There is no suspect at this time.

Previously, the colonist's area Larvi in Landskrona has been affected by several fires and the police suspect that young people are behind it.
