(jd) Last Friday (4.4.) at around 5.38 p.m., a previously unknown 30-year-old man with a small child approached a resident of Schluchtweg and asked for a bottle of water. The unknown man told the resident that he had been working with fire in an adjacent wooded area and that a tree was now on fire, so he would need the water to put it out. The resident immediately informed the fire department, who then extinguished a tree that was on fire. Meanwhile, the man, who has dark blond hair and a full beard, left the scene. The criminal investigation department has taken over the investigation into arson and is asking other witnesses who can provide information about the previously unknown man to call 05221/8880.
