Geneva, Switzerland (TSR, Fre with photos, Tribune de Geneve, Fre) – Police in Geneva are investigating an odd incident Sunday. Two burglars broke into a clothing store at 34, rue de Paquis, just as the owner dropped by, and a fire in the store, as well as the hairdresser’s next door, led to a major blaze within minutes.

The robbers, after pushing the owner around, fled and have not been found. The fire broke out minutes later and did considerable damage to both shops, but police say it is unclear if the fire was a result of the burglary, or vice verse, according to TSR. Fifteen police officers were sent to the scene. Traffic was blocked in the area while firefighters doused the blaze.
