Brand attack on Amazon transporter: Mayor condemns violence

The mayor of the Berlin district of Reinickendorf, Emine Demirbüken-Wegner, condemned the arson attack on at least 16 Amazon transporters in the district. The cowardly and ruthless attack was not only against the company concerned, but also against the community as a whole. Such acts of violence against local companies and those who work hard to make a living are unacceptable and are not tolerated, emphasized the mayor.

Your sympathy applies to employees and customers who are affected by this incident. The district office is ready to assist the companies concerned during this difficult time. Demirbüken-Wegner also thanked the fire brigade for their quick reaction and continuous support. The hideous attack will not shake the determination of protecting and strengthening the community, she assured.

The Amazon transporters were damaged by fire or heat on Wednesday night in a parking lot in Wittenau, the police said. The vehicles are no longer traveling. The fire brigade had to extinguish fire for about three hours with 28 emergency services. Then a suspected letter of confession appeared on an online platform.

This criminal act not only has an economic impact on the company concerned, but also affects the feeling of security of the citizens in Reinickendorf. The fast reaction of the fire brigade shows the efficiency and professionalism of the rescue workers in the region.

Historically, Berlin has a long history of political activities and acts of violence. In recent years there have been increasing arson attacks on vehicles and buildings in various parts of the city. The authorities have worked hard to combat such attacks and to account for the perpetrators. It remains to be seen how the investigation will be in this special case.

In the following table, some facts about similar incidents in Berlin have been listed in recent years:
