Eight police vehicles were set on fire in Munich, Germany, just days before the G7 summit in Bavaria.

Investigations assume the arson was intentional.

Police vehicles were parked in front of a city hotel, housing police officers in charge of securing the summit, a police spokesman confirmed to dpa.

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said that "she does not see any specific security threat", writes

Franz Hazlbeck from the protest association, "Stop G7 Elmau", named after the Bavarian castle, Elmau where the summit will take place, has clearly distanced itself from setting fire.

He is sure that "none of the organizations gathered in the association is involved".

Hazlbeck stressed that "Stop G7 Elmau" supports peaceful protests.

Police, immediately after learning about the arson, have launched investigations to find possible perpetrators, but so far without success, said a spokesman.

The remains of completely burned vehicles were also investigated.

Officials estimated the damage at six-digit numbers.

This is not the first incident related to the meeting at Elmaut Castle, which starts on Sunday and for which the highest security measures have already been imposed.

On Tuesday it was learned that someone was messing with the power distribution boxes inside the safety zone.

There are also graffiti with the words "Postpone G7" or "No G7".

Police suspect these crimes are politically motivated.

Moreover, secret police documents from the time of the G7 summit in 2015, which was also held at Elmau Castle, were leaked to the public.

Otherwise, the G7 Summit is scheduled to start on Sunday and end on Tuesday at the already hermetically sealed castle, Elmau near Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

It will be attended by the heads of state and government of the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and Canada, led by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
