Approach shocked Schlußig: 33-year-old in custody!

In the night from Thursday to Friday, an attempt by the arson shook the Antonienstraße in the Schleußig district, where a VW Caddy was to be set on fire. Thanks to rapid deletion measures by police officers on site, a full fire of the vehicle could be averted. In the nightly investigation, a 33-year-old German was identified as a suspect and temporarily arrested in the night after consultation with the Leipzig public prosecutor.

He is also suspected of having committed several arson in the districts of Schleußig and Plagwitz in the past few days. On Friday afternoon he was seen by the investigative judge of the Leipzig District Court, who issued an arrest warrant. In nine cases and attempted murder, the 33-year-old is accused of dangerous bodily harm in nine cases and attempted murder. He was brought to a correctional facility while the investigation continues.
