Intentional arson: garbage containers in Erlangen on flames!
In the early morning hours of Thursday, June 19, 2025, two garbage containers burned on Isarstrasse in Erlangen. At 1:30 a.m., the containers were already on fire, with a container in full fire and the second was also affected. The heat of the fire also damaged a lamp mounted over the container. Fortunately, the fire brigade was able to intervene quickly and extinguish the fire so that nobody was injured. The police estimate the property damage caused by around 1000 euros. However, indications indicate an intentional fire, which is why investigations into property damage were taken. The police ask the population for help and are looking for witnesses who can contribute to clarifying the incident. Information can be reported to the Erlangen-Stadt police inspection on 09131 / 760-114. This reports Wiesentbote .

Such incidents not only create the security authorities, but also put a significant impact on the municipalities. More information on this can be found on Statista
