A man has been arrested in connection with an arson attack on a Garda speed detection van in Cork more than 18 months ago.
The attack occurred while a garda was sitting in a Gatso speed detection van at the entrance to Primrose Hill estate on the main Blarney to Tower Road on August 27th, 2009.
A man smashed in the passenger's window of the van and threw in a petrol bomb into the cabin while the officer operated the speed-detection equipment.
The petrol bomb failed to explode, and the garda managed to extinguish the device before it caused him any injury or any serious damage to the vehicle.
