Investigators hunt for white-haired arsonist in Linz

Once again, the sinister igniter had targeted garbage islands in Auwiesen. The ominous series of fires began on February 18, exactly one month ago.

A series of arson attacks has terrified the tenants of a large residential complex in Linz-Auwiesen. The "Krone" was on site after the arson attack and spoke to the frightened residents. And there is already a first description of the perpetrator.

If it was a coincidence, then it was a very strange one and already the fourth in just one month: the fire on two garbage islands in a residential complex in Linz-Auwiesen kept the Linz fire department and the Ebelsberg volunteer fire department busy on Tuesday night. Two injured people are in hospital and a suspect is in the sights of investigators.
