Arson assault on Leipzig police headquarters
A shocking incident took place at the Leipzig South-East police station on a Sunday morning, as a mailbox at the entrance was damaged in an explosion. The source of the noise was a destroyed and smoldering mailbox, with some letters inside also sustaining damage.
The investigation into the incident is being led by the criminal investigation unit, with the focus on criminal damage and illegal handling of explosives. The explosion, it was later discovered, was caused by fireworks.
