The burning of several Bundeswehr vehicles on New Year’s Eve in the Leipzig district of Heiterblick was likely a targeted attack. According to the State Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA) on Friday, there is a confession letter that hints at possible political motivations. It is published on the Internet platform “de.Indymedia”, which the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution had classified as a suspicious case in the field of left-wing extremism since July.
Witness references requested
The “Violence Task Force” of the Police Center for the Defense against Terrorism and Extremism (PTAZ) took over the investigation of the arson that night. According to the LKA, it depends on the help of the population for its clarification. According to the LKA, unknown individuals had set fire to eleven trucks and a Bundeswehr trailer at the premises of a car dealership, which had to be repaired at the local garage.
The amount of property damage is not yet clear
It is not yet clear how the fire started. Seven vehicles were destroyed. Currently, there is no specific information available on the amount of property damage, he said. The PTAZ is now looking for witnesses who saw suspicious people and vehicles near the crime scene between 9:30 pm and 10:00 pm or observed other things that could be related to the case. Perceptions on the Internet or on social media are also of interest, according to the LKA.
