A fire in a gravel plant in Oberhaching caused damage of more than one million euros on Wednesday morning. After arriving shortly after 5 a.m., it took the fire brigade around an hour to extinguish burning machines and construction equipment. Because there are indications of arson, the criminal police took over the investigation. Officials of the fire commissioner 13 secured extensive traces. In addition, possible connections with other cases are examined. To this end, Commissioner 43 has been called in, which deals with politically motivated crimes from the left-wing scene.
In August there was an as yet unexplained arson attack on a gravel works with millions in damage. At that time, a 350-meter section of a kilometer-long conveyor belt near the forest area of Forst Kasten was destroyed. There environmental activists set up a protest camp in the summer and occupied trees; They demonstrated against the feared clearing of the forest for further gravel extraction. When an arson attack in the east of Munich paralyzed the electricity supply in May, the clearing plans for Forst Kasten were explicitly mentioned as the motive for the crime in a letter confessing that it was. As far as is known, the company now affected is not active in this area. The police asked witnesses who noticed suspicious persons or vehicles in the area of Lanzenhaarer Strasse and Münchner Strasse on Wednesday morning in Oberhaching to report on 089/29 100.
