A 44-year-old woman from Tripoli, Greece, is facing legal trouble after she intentionally set not one but two wildfires on farmland in Kerasitsa.
As per reports, the incidents happened on August 24 and 25, while the woman was arrested on August 26 by the Police Department of Tripoli. Investigators revealed that her unusual motive was to catch the attention of firefighters, so that she could meet and flirt with them.
The woman was spotted at both fire sites, which sparked suspicion among the firefighters. Following the investigation, the woman was arrested.
As per the local media Skai TV, she has been sentenced to 36 month in prison and a fine of €1,000.
Meanwhile, the woman’s prison sentence has been put on hold. However, if she commits another crime within a specified period, she will be asked to serve this sentence along with the new one.
Fortunately, the fires that the woman started only damaged small plots of land and were quickly controlled by the fire department. On the other hand, no injuries were reported, thanks to the fast response from firefighters at both scenes.
