Six fires in dry grass, reeds, and farmland in Sindos were reportedly set by a 59-year-old man who was arrested following a mobilization of the Investigative Units for Combating Arson Crimes (A.K.A.E.E.) of the Fire Department’s Special Investigative Unit.

Specifically, one fire broke out on Saturday, August 8, 2026, burning approximately 20 stremmata of agricultural land, and another on Sunday, August 9, 2026, which burned approximately 15 stremmata of agricultural land.

Yesterday, the 59-year-old allegedly started four more fires in the same area.

The suspect is expected to be brought before the competent prosecutor today.
