California: IID Functioned Under Police Car, 1 Arrested

On 1 June 2024, at approximately 0400 hours local time, an improvised incendiary device (IID) functioned under a UC Berkeley police car that was parked in front of the campus police station. The device was emplaced near the fuel tank, partially burning the police car when it functioned. The suspect believed responsible for the fire allegedly set three other fires—one on 13 June outside a campus building, a second on 16 June at a construction site on campus, and the third on 16 June on a campus hilltop.
