Arson in Emden: Workshop on fire, investigators on the trail!

The police and public prosecutor's office now assume that the arson was intentional NWZonline reported.
The fire, which broke out around 1:20 a.m., caused enormous damage, estimated at at least 500,000 euros. This amount could increase depending on how the investigation progresses. Police have already completed a technical investigation into the cause of the fire and ruled out a defect. In fact, there are now indications that the crime was planned, as several vehicle fires that started in quick succession indicate a deliberate act of arson.
Investigations underway
The investigation is not only focusing on the fire itself, but is also examining possible connections to a rock concert that took place on the same day. The Port Arthur/Transvaal Citizens' Association suspects that the damage may have been intended to prevent the concert from taking place. What's interesting is that the concert previously raised concerns over fears it might attract a right-wing audience. Despite the incidents, the concert went ahead as planned.
Witnesses reported seeing people near the scene of the fire. Their observations are part of the ongoing investigation aimed at shedding light on the matter. The evaluation of the evidence and the reports of an expert support the theory of intentional arson.
Solidarity for those affected
In the meantime, committed citizens have launched an online fundraising campaign to support the Wienekamp family. So far, almost 3,900 euros have been collected out of a target of 5,000 euros. This initiative shows that the community stands together and shows solidarity in difficult times.
