Women 'try to set fire to porn shop' in sweden

Two young women tried to set fire to a pornographic video shop in Malmö on Thursday night, police have said.The women, 23 and 26, were arrested at 12:45 am near the shop on Bergsgatan in the city."They were outside the shop, and set fire to a phone book. They also tried to set fire to an antenna cable that led into the video store," said police spokesman Lars-Håkan Lindholm to The Local.As well as housing the porn shop, the block housed a number of apartments.

Police were called to the scene by someone who saw what the young women were doing. It is not yet clear whether the women's action was a political statement or whether they had another motive."They are going to be questioned. There's nothing yet to indicate a motive. They had been drinking vodka however, and they were pretty drunk," said Lindholm.
The women are suspected of attempted arson, but police say their attempt was a long way from being successful.

"It was pretty clumsily done," said Lindholm.
