Charge to Great Brand: 17-year-old is said to have set car dealership on fire

Konrad-Adenauer-Straße, 72760 Reutlingen, Deutschland - A shocking crime shakes Reutlingen! A then 17-year-old trainee is suspected of having laid a devastating fire in the Ford Kimmerle dealership. The public prosecutor's office in Tübingen has now charged the youngsters on October 25th. The fire, which broke out on October 31, 2023 on the night, devastated the body workshop and destroyed seven vehicles in the paint shop.

The fire brigade was in constant use to extinguish the inferno that put the entire workshop in rubble and ash. The indictment accuses the young man of having sparked the fire with flammable liquid, which shocked the investigators and the public.

The exact motives of the trainee are still unclear, but the severity of the crime has already caused excitement. The public prosecutor is emphasizing the case, and the youth lay judge in Reutlingen will soon deal with the allegations. The destruction and the dangers caused by such acts throw a bright light on the responsibility of young people in society.
