Arson shocks Olching: 50,000 euros worth of damage to supermarket!
On the night of Friday, July 4, 2025, the fire department was called to a fire in a hypermarket on Feursstrasse in Olching (Fürstenfeldbruck district). Residents noticed the fire around 11:15 p.m. and immediately alerted the rescue workers. On site, the emergency services found a burning stack of pallets outside, from which the flames spread to the facade of the market. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the property damage is estimated at around 50,000 euros, reports South German newspaper.

Firefighters also had to clear smoke from a nearby dentist's office, illustrating the extent of the fire. The criminal police specialists are now looking for clues and witnesses who may have observed the crime or suspicious activities. Residents are asked to call 08141/6120 Bavaria Police informed.
Arson in focus
Unfortunately, arson is a recurring problem in Germany. According to a publication by the Federal Criminal Police Office, the number of arson cases recorded by the police varies from year to year. From 2014 to 2024, numerous cases were recorded across the country, highlighting the importance of preventive measures. The local population is particularly called upon to be vigilant and report suspicious situations in order to counteract such incidents said Statista.
The circumstances in Olching raise questions that concern not only the investigators, but also the citizens. What's going on here? Where could the danger come from? And how can we as a community protect ourselves against such acts? Hopefully the answers will become clearer in the coming days, but one thing is certain: cooperation between police and citizens is crucial to preventing such incidents in the future and ensuring security in the region.
