Fired Telepizza worker's boyfriend sets light to 15 delivery mopeds
A 32-YEAR-OLD man set fire to 15 Telepizza delivery mopeds worth €30,000 as revenge after his girlfriend lost her job there.
Emergency services were called out in the early hours of the morning to the moped park at the branch of the fast-food chain in San Vicente del Raspeig, about 10 kilometres north of Alicante city.
They had to evacuate the block where the pizza restaurant is based.
An analysis of the fire damage after it was extinguished showed it was almost certainly intentional, and police and firefighters interviewed numerous witnesses.
This led to the culprit's being taken in for questioning, and several 'contradictions' in his statement gave police enough evidence to charge him.
His girlfriend had lost her job at the same Telepizza branch just days before, although it is not known if she was made redundant, if she had a temporary contract which was not renewed, or if she was sacked and what the reasons for this may have been.
