Kirchseeon , incendiary sabotage of a gravel plant

Less than 24 hours after flames engulfed a gravel plant in the Buch district of Kirchseeon, some fifteen kilometers east of Munich, the police in Upper Bavaria came to the conclusion on Tuesday February 6 that it was clearly arson.

Several fires were identified on the site of the gravel extraction plant (a material mainly used for concrete and roads), destroying or seriously damaging a company building, two front end loaders and several conveyor belts shortly before 5 a.m. on Sunday night, February 5.

Around 180 fire-fighters were on the scene, including large fire-fighting trucks from Munich and the Rosenheim district, and continued extinguishing the fire throughout the morning.

According to the police, the material damage caused cannot currently be quantified in more detail, but is expected to be in the six-figure range.

The Upper Bavaria-Nord police headquarters also declined to comment on rumors that the series of arson attacks on construction machinery in and around Munich had not ceased.
