Two suspects arrested after alleged arson attempt at Munich defence firms

Munich police arrested a man and a woman on suspicion of attempting to set fire to the premises of two defence contractors on the city’s industrial outskirts. According to a statement from the Bavarian State Police, the suspects were detained shortly after investigators observed suspicious activity near the facilities and responded to reports of a potential arson threat. Both individuals are being held in custody pending further questioning, and the police have not disclosed their identities or any alleged motives.

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities examining whether the incident was part of a broader security concern targeting the defence sector. Police have indicated that no damage was inflicted on the companies’ property and that no injuries were reported. Officials emphasized that heightened security measures remain in place around critical infrastructure, and they urged the public to report any suspicious behavior that could jeopardize public safety.
