Brand series shakes Cottbus: Police investigated against fire devils!

Cottbus, Deutschland - Last week, the citizens of the region around Cottbus had Grund to concern. In the area of ​​the Cottbus/Spree-Neisse police inspection, there were several fires between Friday evening and Sunday morning, in which the police assume possible arson. According to Niederlausitz Aktuell were registered with a total of four fire events. The first fire occurred on Friday evening in Welzow, followed by other fires in Teichland and Cottbus-Kahren.

The fire in a bungalow in Spremberg was particularly serious, which completely burned down on Saturday morning and caused property damage of around 15,000 euros. The forensic technology was on site to secure traces, but there are currently no specific indications of possible suspects. The police initiated investigations in all nine cases because the circumstances indicate arson.

In Cottbus, 31 cases of fires on Müllcontainers and 15 have been reported to cars. The police have already identified several suspects, but due to a lack of evidence, they had to be released again. Investigations are challenging because DNA traces are difficult to secure. It should also be borne in mind that mentally conspicuous people were observed in connection with car fires.

According to a statistics by Statista , several hundred cases were recorded by the police, which underlines the alarming events in Brandenburg. In cities such as Cottbus, security authorities are required by the frequency of such incidents.

The Cottbus police continue to try to find perpetrators in the act, while working with public bodies is intensified in order to explore the causes of the arson. Citizens are required to remain attentive and report suspicious activities immediately - this is the only way to break through the vicious circle of the arson.
