Verden (dpa / lni) - After a fire in the building of a religious community in Verden, the cause of the fire is still unclear.

A police spokesman said on Sunday afternoon that the police were continuing to investigate the fire on Saturday.

Officials had been notified on Saturday about a break-in and discovered the fire on site.

The fire brigade came to extinguish the embers.

A window on the building was smashed according to a report.

The police could not rule out an intentional arson.

Because initial surveys revealed that the parish hall has not been used in the past few days, the police are hoping for clues about suspicious people or vehicles.
