POLICE ARREST SUSPECTED ARSONIST AT ARIZONA TESLA DEALERSHIP AFTER CYBERTRUCK SET ABLAZE

Police in Mesa, Arizona, arrested a suspected arsonist after he allegedly set a newly delivered Tesla Cybertruck on fire at a local dealership.

On Monday, April 29, Mesa Police responded to reports of an explosion at the **Tesla Service Center** in Mesa, Arizona, shortly before 2:00 a.m. Witnesses reported flames and smoke near the building, which officers traced to a recently delivered **Tesla Cybertruck**.

A video from **Fox News affiliate KSAZ-TV** depicted federal and state law enforcement surrounding the dealership after the fire was extinguished. The suspect, identified as **Ian Moses**, 35, allegedly wrote “THEIF” (sic) on the dealership’s exterior before igniting the vehicle. Footage showed the charred remains of the electric truck as investigators cordoned off the scene.

During their investigation, police spotted a suspicious van parked nearby. Officers observed **Moses** approaching the van on a bicycle and opening its door. He was subsequently detained and matched to security footage captured by the **Tesla Security Center**.

**Moses** was arrested and charged with one count of arson of a structure and property. The **Mesa Police Department** announced it is collaborating with federal authorities, with additional charges pending as the investigation continues.

This incident coincides with a nationwide wave of vandalism targeting **Elon Musk’s** companies, including recent attacks on Tesla vehicles and infrastructure. In a statement, **Pam Bondi** noted that the Department of Justice is pursuing federal charges against those involved in such crimes, labeling the attacks as “nothing short of domestic terrorism.”

Authorities have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward as the investigation progresses. No injuries were reported in the Mesa incident.
