Local Police in Torrox arrested a 36-year-old man in the early hours of Saturday morning in connection with a fire at a Chinese bazaar on Calle Baja.

The local man is alleged to have returned to the establishment to start the fire after being denied entry on Friday afternoon for not wearing a mask.

Police are also investigating whether the individual is responsible for damage to windows and bodywork on 11 vehicles parked in El Pontil car park on the same evening.
