District
- In mid-November, a
Mini Cooper
suddenly went up in
flames
in
the parking lot of a Weilheim car dealership
.
A
passerby
who was just passing reacted quickly, ran into the neighboring pet shop and organized a fire extinguisher.
This enabled him to smother the flames and prevent the fire from spreading and affecting other cars (we reported).
After the car fire in Weilheim: Kripo suspected arson from the start
The
Weilheim volunteer fire brigade
then ensured that the scene of the fire was secured and that the
investigators could start
their work safely.
The
criminal police
took over the investigation and it quickly became clear that it had to be arson.
Yesterday the officials were able to report that they had caught the arsonist.
According to the police headquarters of Upper Bavaria South, a
49-year-old man
from the Weilheim-Schongau district was identified
as an
urgent suspect
.
"The motive for the act should be found in the personal area," said police spokesman Stefan Sonntag.

The
car
, which belonged to a woman from the Landsberg district, who had actually only given it to
the workshop
to prepare a
cost estimate
for the repair of
damage caused by vandalism
, was badly damaged in the fire.
The extent of the property damage was not reported.
Long queues in front of many shops shaped the last day of shopping before the Corona lockdown in Weilheim as well.
Nevertheless, the very big rush usually did not take place.
The corona pandemic, on the other hand, made the operation of the Penzberger Tafel much more difficult.
But the volunteers continue to work - even before Christmas and despite another lockdown.
In the spring, the food bank closed for three weeks and then reopened with a new concept.
