Bavaria: arrest: fires in bank branches in Upper Bavaria

Bad Tölz (dpa / lby) - After fires in two bank branches in Bad Tölz in Upper Bavaria, the police arrested a man. The 56-year-old is suspected of having set fire to the two buildings on Tuesday night, the police said. According to initial estimates, damage of up to 200,000 euros was incurred. Several ATMs and the interior were damaged.

The officials arrested the 56-year-old during the night. A witness had seen him leaving the building shortly before the fire in the second branch. A police spokesman said that an alcohol test on the suspect resulted in well over two per thousand. The 56-year-old should be brought before a judge on Wednesday, who will decide whether the man will be held in custody.
