Arson attacks in Leipzig: Police are investigating attempted murder!
On the night of Wednesday, June 19, 2025, there were several vehicle fires in Leipzig that called the police to the scene. A total of three cars were set ablaze in the Schleußig and Plagwitz districts. One vehicle was completely burned out, while the other two vehicle brakes were severely damaged. The affected cars were parked within a radius of just a few hundred meters. The financial damage is currently unclear, but the police are investigating whether it was intentional arson. In this context, it is also examined whether there are relevant connections to similar incidents in the past. The police did not release any further details in order not to jeopardize the ongoing investigation, reports the MDR.
The incident on Saturday night in Schleußig was particularly explosive: Unknown people not only set fire to cars, but also caravans and campers. What is particularly alarming is that a 36-year-old man was sitting in one of the vehicles and was injured by the flames. This has led to the public prosecutor's office now investigating attempted murder and arson. In this case, too, work at the individual crime scenes has not yet been completed and the authorities are withholding further information. That reports star.
Investigations in focus
The intensive investigation aims to identify the perpetrator or perpetrators and to find out possible motives for the arson. The police in Leipzig have already begun to meticulously examine the crime scenes and secure the first clues. It is particularly important to examine the connection to previous fires in the region, which could indicate a potentially larger arson problem in the city.
The local population is concerned about the situation and is voicing their concerns on social media, where crime in these areas of the city is being discussed. Citizens are demanding more security measures and a quicker resolution of the incidents.
In summary, it can be said that the situation in Leipzig is tense. Both the arson cases and the incident with the injured man obviously caused a great response among the population. The police are still required to ensure security in the districts and to hold those responsible accountable.
