Car fire on A19: Stolen license plates and fleeing perpetrators!
On the night of October 5, 2024, at around 9:25 p.m., the police were informed of a fire in a passenger car at the Rostock-Ost junction on the A19 motorway. Despite the prompt intervention of the Rostock professional fire department, the vehicle could only be found in a completely burned-out condition. Fortunately, there were no people in the car at the time of the fire.
During the subsequent investigation, the police discovered that the burning Volkswagen had been reported stolen. In addition, the license plates attached to the vehicle had previously been stolen from a Hyundai. The perpetrators are still unknown and are still being sought by the investigating authorities. The exact circumstances that led to the fire are currently unclear.
Cause and consequences of the fire brigade operation
The fire brigade's intervention required the exit to be completely and partially closed until around 12:30 a.m. During this time, cleaning work was carried out to return the road to a safe condition following the fire.
The criminal police's investigation is now focusing on several crimes. These include suspicion of forgery of documents, the theft of license plates and the embezzlement of the vehicle itself. The total damage caused by this incident is estimated at around 8,000 euros.
The background to this incident is still sparse, but there is already some information that points to a criminal act. The operation and the subsequent clean-up work were necessary to restore safety on the highway.
