And again forestry machines are going up in flames: On Monday morning, the Munich police were again informed about burning forestry machines in their area of responsibility, this time in the Hofoldinger Forest south of Brunnthal. These were two machines used for felling and loading trees, a harvester and a forwarder. According to initial estimates, the damage amounts to several hundred thousand euros.
A technical defect cannot be ruled out as the cause of the fire, but the police commissioner responsible for politically motivated left-wing crime is still examining 43 possible connections to previous fire crimes. Just a week ago on Monday, similar forestry machines were on fire in the Perlacher Forest and Forstenrieder Park, also early in the morning; There was also a fire in a cable shaft on the Ludwigsbrücke at night. On Friday morning, the police again registered two burning forestry machines, this time in the Pullach part of Forstenrieder Park.
The events fit into a series of around 20 arson attacks on infrastructure facilities since May. There are currently no letters of responsibility or information about suspects.
