– On Friday, a group set fire to Dietzenbach in Hesse. Apparently just to attract the police, who threw stones at them. The argument lasted two hours. The interior minister believes there is a connection with a previous police operation. – – – EA violent stone attack against firefighters and police officers caused horror in Hesse. The forces were probably ambushed in Dietzenbach in the Offenbach district and then attacked. According to initial knowledge, no one was injured. According to Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU), the attack could possibly be linked to a major police operation earlier this week. Officials had secured over 200 bicycles, presumably stolen goods, in several cellars in a high-rise building. “It is not entirely out of the question that there is ultimately a connection to crimes that were previously committed and where there has been a corresponding police action,” said Beuth in Wiesbaden. However, details still have to be determined. There is no evidence of a political background, the minister said. According to a police spokesman in Dietzenbach, the motivational situation is still completely open. According to the information, garbage cans and an excavator were initially set on fire on a parking deck in order to ambush the emergency services, the police said. When the helpers arrived early Friday morning, around 50 men threw stones at them.
