Several cabins have burned in Garpenberg during the past two weeks. Police are investigating three cases as suspected arson and have not ruled out a connection between them.
"We are actively working with technical investigations, interviews with possible witnesses and door-knocking," police stated. No one has been injured but the high values involved have led to the arson probes. No suspect has been identified.
Police have increased their presence in the area to prevent further incidents. They also want to be available for residents who may have concerns or tips to share.
