Three minors were responsible for
starting a wildfire in the hills of Fondo Fucile in Messina on
Saturday afternoon, sources said on Monday.
The arsonists were a girl aged 14 and two boys aged 13 and
15.
They were caught by police still carrying the cigarette
lighters used to start the fire, after being spotted by locals.
"We did something stupid," one of the three told police.
None of the minors were able to give a motive for their
actions.
They have been reported to the competent judicial authorities
and returned to their families.
