Approach in Bergen: stroller lit in the basement!
In a tranquil apartment building in Bergen, district of Vorpommern-Rügen, there was a threatening incident this morning. At 9:50 a.m., the residents noticed that a stroller in the basement went up in flames. The cause of the fire has so far been unclear, and the police have investigated arson . However, the situation could be quickly brought under control.
Fortunately, thanks to the courageous use of several volunteers from Bergen, Putbus, Sehlen and Catzig, it remained in property damage. All residents of the person concerned could be brought to safety in good time and no person was injured. The targeted attack on the stroller led to an estimated property damage of around 2,000 euros.legal background
The legal situation in Germany is clear and sees arson as a serious crime. According to the Criminal Code (Section 306 of the Criminal Code), the intentional ignition of an object is a deliberate interference with foreign property, which can be punished with prison terms between one and ten years. Particularly serious cases in which people are in danger are classified as serious arson (§ 306a StGB). It is crucial whether the fire leads to a destruction of the object or considerable damage caused by smoke or soot, as described in detail, for example in the arsonstiftung.info.
An example from the past shows how complex such cases can be handled legally: a defendant who repeatedly laid fire in an apartment building in 2018 was convicted of property damage, but not for arson, since no building was completely destroyed according to the court. The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) then had to specify the definition of "destruction" in arson ([juraonline.de] (https://juraonline.de/blog/2021/27/bgh-wann-ist-in-tatobjekt- through
The search for witnesses
The police are now urgently looking for witnesses who can provide information about this incident in Bergen. In about half of the cases, investigative authorities in Germany, which register around 20,000 cases of arson annually, will succeed in identifying the perpetrators (arsoniftung.info).
The situation in Bergen clearly shows that arson is not only a legal but above all a human drama. It is important that such incidents are quickly explained to restore the feeling of security of the residents and to prevent possible repetitions.
The fire brigade and security authorities will continue to intensify their use to protect the population. Citizens are called to be attentive and report suspicious observations so that nobody is endangered by such figs.
