The Tampere police investigate fires that are suspected to have been set on purpose.
The fire that broke out on January 6, 2025 at the former Saukonpuisto school in Tampere has been resolved.
There is reason to suspect the arsonists to be young boys who have been reached and interviewed.
The fire was started on the spur of the moment rather than premeditated and is being investigated as vandalism.
At the scene of the fire on 9.1. in the conducted site investigation, a fire was still smoldering in the roof structures of the building, which was extinguished by the rescue service.
The police thank you
The course of events has been revealed in the interrogations. After the previous announcement, several people who were near the scene have been in contact with the police.
Based on the contacts, the events and observation times have been clarified so that the two men mentioned in the previous announcement were finally suspected of being involved in the fire and observations of other persons could be ruled out.
The police thank you for the many contacts!
The police have also investigated a fire that broke out during the day in a large apartment building in Tampere’s Kaukajärvi on January 3, 2025.
The residents who were there then had to leave their apartments. There was reason to suspect that the fire in the warehouse was started.
The police have arrested a woman born in the 80s as a suspect in the crime. The fire is being investigated as aggravated vandalism.
In addition, the police have investigated a fire suspected to have been started on October 30, 2024 in the warehouse of a housing company on Polvikattu in Tampere.
A man born in the 90s has been interrogated as a suspect in the vandalism. The criminal cases will later proceed to prosecution.
The police remind us that fires will be caught.
Fires cause considerable danger and damage to people, animals and property, especially in densely built urban environments.
In addition, fires cause smoke damage outside the fire area.
The fire is usually not limited to the ignited space.
In addition to the punishment, the arsonist is usually ordered to pay substantial damages.
Fire is rarely a good ring and always a bad host.
