Prosecutors have charged a US man with arson after he tried to set fire to one of Google’s Street View cars at its Mountain View campus, Engadget reported.

In his statement, the man said Google was watching him and that made him upset.

This may not be an isolated incident, according to the report, as the man’s car was spotted when someone shot out the windows of a Google building on 4 June.

A hooded man was also seen setting fire to a Google car on 10 June.

Police say they arrested the man with a weapon case and parts for a pipe bomb in his car.
