A suspect has been arrested for setting fire to multiple Tesla vehicles in Las Vegas earlier this month, authorities announced. Paul Hyon Kim has been charged with federal unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm and arson, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday. He’s also facing a slew of charges in state court — including arson, possession of an explosive device and firing a weapon into a vehicle — in connection with the fiery attack at the Tesla service center, near Jones Boulevard and Badura Avenue, on March 18. Police said Kim spraypainted the word “Resist” on the building’s glass doors before he hurled several Molotov cocktails toward vehicles on the lot and then fired off several rounds to ignite them. Firefighters arrived on the scene just before 3 a.m. and quickly contained the car blazes. No one was injured in the attack, but five Tesla vehicles were damaged.

There have also been incidents reported in major cities across the United States, including Seattle and Kansas City, as well as in Canada. “The Department of Justice has been clear: anyone who participates in the wave of domestic terrorism targeting Tesla properties will suffer severe legal consequences,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said Thursday. “We will continue to find, arrest, and prosecute these attackers until the lesson is learned.” ...read more read less
