Fiery assault on a Berlin cannabis store - Berlin's Cannabis Store in Flames
A cannabis shop in Berlin-Mitte was the target of an attempted arson attack at the end of July. According to reports, unknown individuals used a flammable liquid to set the shop's window on fire. The hole in the window was taped up shortly after the incident, but traces of the attack were still visible hours later.
Firefighters were called to extinguish the fire, and the police are now investigating the case. A brand squad from the state criminal police office is involved in the investigation, and the police are exploring a potential connection to another arson attack on a cannabis shop in the same district.
The exact nature of the liquid used in the attack is not specified, but according to "Berliner Kurier", Molotov cocktails may have been used. The extent of the damage caused by the arson attack is not detailed in the article.
The police reported seeing a person during the attack, but the identity of the person remains unknown. At the current time, there is no indication of a connection between the two arson attacks.
Another cannabis shop in Berlin-Mitte that suffered a fire attack in July is the CBD shop "Home of Hemp" located at Große Hamburger Straße 35. It is not clear if this shop is connected to the described case.
