Less than two weeks after a deliberately set fire in an apartment building in Stralsund, the alleged arsonist is still on the run.
As a police spokesman said on Monday, the 43-year-old tenant who fled has not yet been found.
The search will now be "intensified."
Stralsund - According to previous investigations, the Stralsund man is said to have started fire in the apartment building on October 7 and fled.
He is charged with serious arson.
The fire is said to have started on the balcony of the tenant's apartment on the second floor.
The flames then spread to the entire apartment, which is no longer habitable.
