Unknown persons have apparently attempted to set fire to the grounds of a church on Harffer Strasse in Neuss-Erfttal. According to initial findings, a wooden flowerpot was set alight inside the church building.
The incident took place at around 13:30 and there is evidence to suggest that the fire was deliberately set. The fire was discovered by a witness and extinguished in time before the flames could spread. As a result, no major damage was caused to the building.
