Suspected arson attack at villa south of Stockholm

A villa in Botkyrka, south of Stockholm, caught fire early Saturday morning. Police believe the fire was arson.

The fire department suspects that a flammable liquid was thrown through a window.

"We put out the fire pretty quickly. It was a small fire in one room. No one was home in the house," says Per Tillander, duty officer at the rescue service, to Aftonbladet.

The police write on their website that they are searching for suspects and that a crime scene investigation will begin. The house suffered minor damage.
