1 min read
Summary
Recent attacks on Tesla cars and properties continue, with three attackers using Molotov cocktails arrested in Colorado, Oregon and South Carolina.
All charges have already been reported, but authorities are seeking more information on anyone “operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes”.
The alleged attacks have been linked with protests at Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s investment in Twitter.
The latest warning by Attorney General Pam Bondi follows charges filed against the three alleged attackers, with no details on any further investigations.
The allegations include violence, firearms, arson and illegal possessing of Molotov cocktails with over $1m in damages.
There is increasing concern over the attacks, licence plate readers and the use of social media to identify perpetrators.
