The 38-year-old baker was arrested by the Judicial Police (PJ) of the Center for starting 10 forest fires in July and September in Turu and Vila Cova a Coelheira, Vila Nova de Paiva. The suspect only acted at night, using a lighter.
He stopped the car in the forest zone and set fire to two or three places at each stop. So far, the JV has been able to gather evidence that allows the baker to be responsible for a dozen fires, but there are suspicions that he may have started several more fires in the same area.
The defendant did not want to explain to the inspectors the reasons for his actions, which “endangered the physical integrity and life of people, houses and forests,” reports the joint venture. All fires broke out in an area well known to the suspect, about 30 kilometers from his place of residence.
