Police in Odesa have identified and arrested an individual who set fire to cars in an underground parking facility in Arcadia. The suspect was apprehended the same day. He could face up to 10 years in prison for his actions.

This was reported by the press service of the National Police.

The suspect has been charged with intentional damage to property by arson. The court has placed him in custody with the option of posting bail set at 908,400 UAH. He faces a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
