The restaurant on Bergsgatan has been subjected to three similar attacks recently and had been closed for a month when the police suspect that the three teenagers smashed the window, poured in a flammable liquid, and set it on fire.

The residents above the restaurant had to be evacuated, but no one was injured. The three suspects are not from Malmö, but according to the police's theories, they traveled there to commit the crime.

Now that they are detained, we will conduct several investigations. Technicians will examine their mobile phones, and interviews will be held with various people, says prosecutor Carin Annerén Brunsson to Sydsvenskan.
