The Pittelo district in Assen was again shocked by a fire at the beginning of the evening. This time no car, but a fire in a shed behind a house on Merwedestraat.
Firefighters arrived quickly and quickly brought the fire under control. Officers are in the area looking for camera images that could provide more clarity about the cause of the fire.
The fire on Merwedestraat is the umpteenth in a short time. Eight cars have gone up in flames in the past two and a half weeks. In addition, there were fires at the allotment complex and in various textile containers. The police indicated a week ago that they were strongly considering arson.
