The incident in Plagwitz is not the only fire in the west of Leipzig. Last weekend, unknown people set several vehicles on fire in Plagwitz and the neighboring district of Schleußig. There were further fires on Wednesday night: three cars were set on fire on Beipertstrasse (Schleußig) and in a parking lot on Antonienstrasse (Plagwitz). One vehicle was completely burned out, while the other two were only damaged. Reported on this MDR.
