Change of oil on the water retention basin: Police investigated against Amberger!

An unexpected visit from the police for two men in Amberg! The two Amberger, 24 and 42 years old, treated themselves to a risky break at around 4.30 p.m. on Saturday - when changing the oil of their blue VW, right next to a water retention basin! A place that is anything but ideal for such work.

The police were alerted when passers -by discovered the men on a meadow behind the allotment garden on the mountain climb. On site it turned out that the two had caught their old oil in a small tub. But that wasn't enough, because in the grass under the tub the officers discovered a larger oil stain! Fortunately, the oil had not yet penetrated into the ground, so that the police could intervene with a spade to eliminate the pollution. Happiness in misfortune!

criminal proceedings for soil pollution

The consequences for the two men are serious. The police initiated criminal proceedings for suspected soil pollution. Despite the possibility of quickly cleaning up the situation, the men were extremely unreasonable. A clear case of rash action that not only endangers the environment, but also results in legal consequences!
