Man torched cars in series of arson attacks across Cambridgeshire

The man set numerous cars alight across Cambridgeshire

A man torched several cars across Fenland and destroyed victims’ possessions. Rolandas Fedorenko, 25, set fire to a Nissan Juke in Furrowfields car park, Chatteris, in the early hours of April 1, 2025.

He lit a toilet roll and plastic and put it under the bumper, leaving the vehicle to burn out and also damaging a nearby van and fence. Later in the year, he began starting fires again, according to Cambridgeshire Police.

On November 1, in a car park in Palmers Place, Wisbech, he set fire to a cap and put it under the wheel arch of a Mini Cooper. This damaged the car and a nearby van.

On November 25, behind Market Place, in Wisbech, he set fire to a sock and put it under the wheel arch of another Mini Cooper.

Detective Sergeant Leeza McCormick said: “The victims of these fires had valuable possessions destroyed and were left without their normal means of transport. It is also fortunate the fires did not spread to any nearby buildings and put people at risk.”

The force has confirmed the fire did not spread in the second attack and the damage was minor. He was arrested a few hours after the offence behind Market Place.

Fedorenko, of Waterlees Road, Wisbech, admitted the six counts of arson and was jailed for 14 months at Cambridge Crown Court on Friday, July 10.
