Series of fires in the west of Leipzig: car on fire again!
On the night of Friday, June 20, 2025, a car was set on fire in the Plagwitz district of Leipzig. Unknown perpetrators set fire to the vehicle without any further information being available about the background to the crime. The incident is not isolated, as similar arsons took place in Plagwitz and the neighboring district of Schleußig on Wednesday night and last weekend. This reports Time online.
The situation is getting worse because a 36-year-old was injured in the fires last weekend. The public prosecutor's office has already started an investigation into attempted murder. There are suspicions that the current fire could be part of a series of arsons in the west of Leipzig, which has led police not to release any further information so as not to jeopardize ongoing investigations, such as n-tv reported.
Investigations and calling for witnesses
The public prosecutor's office has begun intensive investigations to clarify the background to the arson. The police are asking citizens for help and have asked for information from witnesses. Any clue could be valuable in identifying the perpetrator and preventing future incidents.

Given the injuries and threat potential posed by such arson incidents, it remains to be seen how authorities will respond to the situation to protect citizens. The local community is concerned and wondering whether there will be further preventative measures.
