Keller fire in Böblingen: suspicious after dramatic arrest in custody

Lauchstraße, 71032 Böblingen, Deutschland - On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, a dramatic basement fire broke out in an apartment building on Lauchstrasse in Böblingen at around 10:00 a.m., with two people being slightly injured-a 22-year-old woman and her almost one year old child. The shock is deep!

The investigation by the Ludwigsburg criminal police quickly led to the arrest of a 38-year-old man who is urgently suspicious of having deliberately laid the fire. Already on Wednesday he was shown to a judge who issued an arrest warrant for suspicion of serious arson and took the Kosovo citizen into custody. The building remains closed until further notice, while the Stuttgart public prosecutor has ordered an expert. Witnesses are urgently asked to report - every information counts!
