The National Republican Guard arrested a 49-year-old man in Águeda, suspected of having set several fires. The police operation was carried out as part of an investigation aimed at identifying the perpetrator of several fires in the region.
The suspect was brought before a court and was subjected to precautionary measures. Authorities continue to investigate the extent of the crimes committed by the individual.
The man's actions may be related to a possible history of alcoholism and a strong compulsiveness to commit this type of crime. This hypothesis was put forward by authorities as a way to explain the suspect's behaviour.
