A fire broke out in the afternoon in a motorcycle storage hall in Landkreis Hildburghausen. The damage amounts to 60,000 euros, with no injuries reported. It remains unclear whether the fire is connected to a summer raid.
The fire occurred in Schleusingen in Landkreis Hildburghausen. According to a spokesman for the state operations center, damage amounted to 60,000 euros. There were no injuries. The cause of the fire is still unclear.
Several media outlets had previously reported on the incident. According to reports, a raid took place in the storage hall in the summer. The spokesman confirmed, upon inquiry, measures by the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) several weeks ago. It concerns the building that was searched in August during a raid in the biker milieu.
Whether there is a connection between the raid and the fire remains unclear so far. As the LKA Thuringia announced in August, the investigations involved robberies and extortion. Objects in other federal states were also affected.
The authorities are continuing their investigation to clarify any possible links.
