Leleszki barn fire leads to arson arrest and domestic abuse investigation

A fire at a wooden barn in Leleszki, within the Pasym municipality, has led to an arson investigation and the arrest of a 25-year-old man. The blaze, which occurred on a Saturday night, destroyed the building and caused an estimated 150,000 PLN in damages.

Police investigators determined the fire was intentionally set. The suspect, identified as the owner's son, has been taken into custody. Beyond the arson, authorities revealed a history of domestic abuse, alleging the man had been physically and psychologically abusing his mother since October 2019, including making death threats and destroying property.

Firefighters from several units responded to the scene, managing risks associated with propane and camping gas cylinders found inside the burning structure. After extinguishing the flames, crews used thermal imaging to ensure no hidden embers remained.
