Swedish police say suspect in car fires arrested in Turkey
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A man suspected of arson in connection with dozens of car fires in Goteborg, Sweden's second largest city, has been arrested in Turkey, police said Wednesday.
About 80 cars were set ablaze in the night from Monday to Tuesday, chiefly in Goteborg, and nearby Trollhattan, an industrial city. Fires were also reported on a smaller scale in Malmo, Sweden's third largest city.
Police spokesman Thomas Fuxborg said Wednesday that a man in his 20s was arrested a day earlier as he tried to enter Turkey. He is suspected of arson and is expected to be returned to Sweden.

Damn Mennonites!

Can't be. Was scolded here, and advised the fires were likely set by White Supremacists, leading up to elections.

From the article:
"Police spokesman Thomas Fuxborg said Wednesday that a man in his 20s was arrested a day earlier as he tried to enter Turkey. He is suspected of arson and is expected to be returned to Sweden."
He'll be jailed for 6 months.
Then... released and "back on the dole".
And back to his old line of work...
