A young man, following enemy directives, agreed to commit arson on vehicles belonging to the military. However, unable to locate them, he set fire to three foreign cars instead. For his actions, he faces a sentence of up to ten years in prison. 
Investigators found that the young man discovered an online ad for a 'job' involving vehicle arson in Kyiv for a specified payment and contacted an anonymous 'employer'. Subsequently, he received clear instructions from his 'curator' regarding which vehicles to set ablaze. 
Acting on the enemy's orders, the young man arrived at a garage cooperative near a gas station in the Obolon district, searching for cars belonging to military personnel. Not finding the required vehicles, he decided to ignite civilian cars instead.
The perpetrator doused parked Mercedes-Benz and BMW vehicles with flammable liquid and set them on fire. As a result, two cars were completely destroyed, and a third, a Hyundai, was partially damaged. 
Officers in collaboration with forensic analysts identified the 18-year-old suspect from Kyiv region and detained him under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
The investigators from the Obolon police department, under the supervision of the Obolon district prosecutor's office, informed the suspect of charges under part 2 of Article 194 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - intentional destruction of someone else's property by fire. The penalty for this offense can lead to imprisonment for up to ten years. 
The police emphasize once again that the enemy continues to exert pressure in the information space and incite citizens to commit crimes. Be vigilant and do not follow illegal instructions. Immediately report any suspicious offers to the police at number 102.
