Scandal in Emmendingen: Illegally disposed of poisonous barrels - witnesses wanted!

Schweighausen, Deutschland - Freiburg (ots)

An alarming incident occurred in the Emmendingen region: Unknowns have illegally disposed of at least twelve tall blue chemiefs! The barrels that are filled with dangerous chemicals such as phenylchlor formiat and surfactant solutions were tipped off at two different locations on the route from Streitberg to Eichbergturm. Two of the containers were discovered on Landstrasse 110 and ten more on the K 5100, where they were thrown on the slope!

This hideous act was done in mid -October and lets the police puzzled. The barrels were disposed of so quickly and secretly that nobody saw the responsible perpetrators. An investigation showed that some of the barrels go back until 2008, which indicates that they were probably hidden under bad storage conditions for a long time before they were now unloaded in an unexplained manner. Some of the barrels have been damaged and leaked, which led to the pollution of the soil!
