Leipzig (dpa / sn) - Unknown people set fire to the transporter of a construction company in Leipzig.

The perpetrators had thrown a window and thrown an incendiary agent into the interior of the vehicle, as the police announced on Friday.

The driver's cab was completely destroyed by the fire the previous night, and the property damage is estimated at around 20,000 euros.

According to the police, political motivation cannot be ruled out.

That is why the extremism specialists of "Soko LinX" took over the investigation, said a spokeswoman.

In the past it happened repeatedly in Leipzig that strangers set cars on fire.

Only in December were three cars burned out.

In this case too, the “Soko LinX” will determine.
