Many cars damaged in fire

About 40 cars have been damaged in three fires on Furutåvägen in Växjö, local media report. It is unclear whether all cars have been burned or if some are only smoke-damaged.

I've never seen anything like it, says a fire commander on site to Smålandsposten.

The fires broke out around 02:30 on Monday morning.

I interpret it as if there have been fires in three separate garages near each other, says police spokesperson Katarina Rusin to TT.

A report of arson has been filed.

We suspect that an unknown perpetrator has set the fires. No one is detained. It may become relevant to conduct a technical investigation. Right now, it's too hot, says Rusin.

No one was injured in the fires.
