Police have arrested a suspect with alleged ties to far-left groups in connection with last week’s firebombing of a Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas, an attack that destroyed three vehicles, damaged two others, and left the word “RESIST” scrawled across the building.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren announced at a March 27 press briefing that 36-year-old Paul Hyon Kim was arrested the previous evening and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on 15 charges, including multiple felonies related to arson, property destruction, unlawful possession of incendiary devices, and firearms offenses.
