Rathen (dpa / sn) – After the fire below the bastion in Saxon Switzerland, the police are looking for witnesses who saw a wine-red van with Danish license plates shortly before the fire broke out. “The fact is that the Sprinter was perceived as suspicious and we are therefore interested in the vehicle and are looking for clues,” said a spokesman for the Dresden police department on Thursday. Accordingly, the van is said to have been occupied by several occupants and was the last vehicle in the parking lot.

The fire broke out on Monday night and spread over an area of ??around 2500 square meters, more than 100 firefighters were on duty. The fire has now been extinguished. The police are investigating arson.
