Dicey assignment for the Florianis from Innsbruck. On Friday afternoon, unknown perpetrators set fire to garbage containers in two locations. One of the fires spread and spread to the front of a house. Investigations are ongoing.

The Innsbruck fire department was called out to two incidents on Friday afternoon. Shortly after 4 pm, unknown perpetrators are believed to have set fire to garbage containers in Amthorstraße and Pradler Platz.

Two containers in an inner courtyard of a building burned out completely. In addition, the fire had already spread to a fence, the front of the building and a racing bike. A paper container was on fire at Pradler Platz.

Due to the proximity of the two crime scenes and the time of the crime, it is assumed that the same perpetrators were involved.
