Minutes later they received a report of another similar event, although in a different location. The reports said the same thing: a homeless-looking man had entered the store, sprayed gasoline and started the fire
. In this place the flames spread, but the firefighters managed to contain the flames before they spread to the adjoining premises: a technology plaza and on the other side a clothing store.

Despite the fact that he had already set fire to two stores, his anger did not diminish and wanted to continue, but when he was about to set fire to the third store (all from the same chain) the arsonist was arrested by the police.

The authorities said that the man was carrying a can of gasoline, and that at the time of his arrest he said that he was a former employee of the affected stores and that he suffered mistreatment, which is why he he was avenging and vandalizing the establishments.

According to Commander Gerardo Cano Gómez, of the Guadalajara police, the man confessed to the facts and explained his reasons for having committed the crimes. illicit Meanwhile, the subject was made available to the Jalisco State Attorney General’s Office, who will be in charge of the corresponding investigations, as well as determining his legal situation.
