arson in focus

arson is not just a problem in Neubrandenburg. In Berlin, too, the number of investigations on vehicle fire foundations has increased in recent years. In 2024, 422 procedures were counted by mid -December, which is the highest level of recent years. The perpetrators are often difficult to grasp, and the reasons for the arson are diverse - from vandalism to personal motives to insurance abuse.

In 2021, over 700 vehicles were set on fire in Berlin, in 2022 there were around 570. Attacking was particularly sensitive to attacks on cars near prisons that could be attributed to extremist motifs. Sometimes it is also pointed out that such acts are in a larger social context and, among other things, occur from a feeling of violating established norms.

A call to vigilance

The Neubrandenburg police will therefore take the investigation very seriously and keep the hope that the information that contributes to clarifying the fire among residents or passers -by who can contribute to the question. In this sense, the citizens are asked to be vigilant and report suspicious observations.

The incident could give the appearance as if arson was an isolated problem, but the comprehensive figures from different regions show that we are dealing with a broader topic here. The commitment of the police and fire brigade, together with the support of the community, will be crucial for the clarification of these and similar deeds in the future. We wish the law enforcement officers a good knack for determining and hope that the perpetrator will soon be held accountable.
