They found partly burned lanterns near the scene – some of which had handwritten notes on them, giving detectives a clue as to where they came from.
Mr Hoppmann said the use of sky lanterns is illegal in Krefeld and most other parts of Germany and asked that the people who launched them or people who witnessed anything should come forward to police.
