Arson SuspectsetsTwoFires, Suspect Released from Custodyafter Investigation

In the quiet town of Winzingen and its neighbouring village Wißgoldingen, a series of suspicious fires have raised concerns among the community. According to the Göppingen Criminal Commission, a 37-year-old man is suspected of having started two fires at the end of last week.

The first fire, which occurred in the afternoon, was estimated to have caused around 5,000 euros worth of damage. It was determined that the fire started externally and involved a storage shed containing firewood and hay bales. The second fire, reported shortly before midnight in Winzingen, also involved a straw stack belonging to the same owner as the previous fires.

The man in question was arrested, but later released pending further investigation and evidence collection. The investigations are ongoing, with the Göppingen Criminal Commission working diligently to uncover the truth behind these incidents.

Another fire was reported in Winzingen on the same day, but it is unclear if this is connected to the suspected arson cases. The community remains vigilant, hoping for a swift resolution to this troubling situation.

As the investigation continues, residents are urged to report any suspicious activities to the local authorities. The safety and well-being of the community is of utmost importance, and every piece of information can help in bringing those responsible to justice.
