Gemmingen (dpa / lsw) - A 13- and a 14-year-old are suspected of having caused damage of around 500,000 euros with fireworks. The two young people are said to have set fire to a listed building at Gemmingen station (Heilbronn district) last Friday, a police spokeswoman said on Thursday.

The building served as a shelter for a company and a building yard. The fire also spread to a nearby grain silo filled with wheat on the day before New Year's Eve, causing damage to the overhead line of the railway system. The younger man then reported himself and named the 14-year-old as an accomplice, the police spokeswoman said.
