Suspected Arson Destroys Three Vehicles at Refugee Facility in Gießen

Three unmarked government vehicles burned, causing significant damage; police estimate losses at €300,000 and investigate deliberate fire-setting.

Three vehicles at a refugee intake facility in Gießen were engulfed in flames early Monday morning, with authorities suspecting arson.
The vehicles were unmarked vans used by the regional government for distributing allowances to residents of the facility.
The fire caused an estimated €300,000 in damages, including broken windows on a nearby administrative building, though the building's facade remained intact.
Police have ruled out an explosion as the cause but have yet to determine the motive behind the suspected arson.
Investigations are ongoing, with no additional details about suspects or further evidence released at this time.
