Fires in the Var: two suspected arsonists arrested for starting several fires

Two individuals suspected of causing multiple arson incidents in the Var department have been detained. One is a 15-year-old minor who allegedly set fires near his home in Cuers on July 10 and 11, burning approximately 600 square meters of vegetation and requiring two water bombers to extinguish the flames. The teenager admitted to starting the first fire with an unextinguished cigarette and the second by lighting pine spines with a lighter. He has been referred to a juvenile court and will undergo judicial educational measures. The other suspect, a 39-year-old man with prior convictions, was arrested after setting fire to vegetation near a supermarket in Ollioules. He claimed the incident was accidental, stating his lighter malfunctioned while attempting to light a cigarette. Both suspects were placed under investigation by local authorities.
