Fire Destruction in Vegesack
In Vegesack on Sunday, a fire broke out at an abandoned building on Breite Straße. The incident, which occurred around 1:20 PM, caused significant property damage but thankfully, no injuries were reported.

The 15-year-old girl was temporarily detained and later handed over to her legal guardians. The 19-year-old man was taken to the police station for further questioning.
