The sirens woke up the residents of the Kremstal (Lower Austria) on Thursday morning. As reported, a barn near the ruins of Senftenberg Castle was on fire. Because this was previously the target of a burglary, the investigators assume that the fire was started. The damage amounts to more than 50,000 euros.
First, strangers broke into the courtyard of the ruins, ripped a camera from its anchorage, and cracked a liquor register. Other doors were also broken open. After that, the tool shed must have piqued the criminals’ interest. They took a brushcutter with them. Shortly afterwards, the barn was ablaze. A small tractor with a trailer and many tools fell prey to the flames. A truck driver noticed the fire and raised the alarm. In any case, the Florianis managed to prevent damage to the ruins, but the barn was completely destroyed. Arson is suspected due to the temporary connection.
Police ask for information
Explosive: It wasn’t the first time thieves had been at work in the castle ruins. Just a few weeks ago, the donation box of the association for the preservation of the ruins was broken into and its contents were stolen. This incident was also reported. “It is possible that the perpetrators are the same,” researchers say. Relevant information is requested on 059/133 3440-305.
