Caught quickly
20-year-old set two piles of wood on fire
It is still unclear why he did it. What is certain, however, is that a 20-year-old from Linz set two piles of wood on fire within half an hour. It is thanks to an attentive witness that the arsonist was quickly apprehended by the police.
A police patrol was called to a fire in Altenberg shortly before 10 p.m. on Tuesday. A pile of wood measuring around 250 to 300 cubic meters was fully engulfed in flames when the police arrived. The fire department had already started extinguishing the fire and at around 10.35 p.m. the emergency services became aware of another woodpile fire not far from the first woodpile.
Reported at large
During the extinguishing work, a witness came forward with information about a suspicious vehicle. A short time later, the vehicle was stopped by a patrol from the Rapid Intervention Group in the Linz area during an immediate search. The witness was able to recognize the suspect from a photograph.
The 20-year-old suspect from Linz was then arrested. He was released after consultation with the public prosecutor's office.
