Since March of this year, approximately 30 reports have been made of arson involving trash cans, waste, and other small objects. We have been investigating this for some time. On Tuesday, May 13, another report of a fire at the Zwarte Woud in Utrecht came in around 10:30 PM. When officers arrived, they saw two boys riding fatbikes. The two boys fled. After a short chase, one of the boys was arrested on suspicion of arson. After further investigation, the second boy was arrested the next day. Both suspects are underage boys from Utrecht.
It is still being investigated to what extent both suspects are involved in the other arson cases.
