The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested a young man for the presumed authorship of the fire crime in the facilities of the EB23 Diogo Cão School, in Vila Real.

According to a statement issued by the authorities this Thursday, it is a 19-year-old who, "for futile reasons, entered that place and set fire next to Pavilion 4".

At issue was a fire that broke out on the night of April 7 and was extinguished by the Volunteer Firefighters of Vila Real - Cruz Verde. Elements of the Municipal Civil Protection and the Public Security Police were also present in the situation.

"The fire [...] put the entire structure of that building, composed of 7 classrooms, a physics-chemistry laboratory, a storage room for various teaching materials and two administrative offices, at risk", reads the PJ note.

The detainee will be brought to judicial interrogation for the application of coercive measures.
