Police have arrested a suspect in connection with last week’s firebomb attack at a Tesla service center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Paul Kim, 36, was taken into custody Wednesday on suspicion of third-degree arson, property destruction, shooting a gun into a vehicle, and possessing an explosive device, according to KSNV.
In the early morning hours of March 18, five Tesla vehicles at the facility were damaged in the attack, with three completely destroyed.
“He used what appeared to be multiple Molotov cocktails and firearms to conduct his attack,” Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Asst. Sheriff Dori Koren said during a news conference last week.
He told reporters that police also found an “unignited Molotov cocktail” at the scene, as well as evidence that the suspect(s) fired “at least three rounds into different” Teslas. Additionally, the word “RESIST” was spray-painted across the doors of the facility.
