False report triggers the police in Mainz!

Quintinsstraße, 55116 Mainz, Deutschland - false alarm leads to massive police operation!

yesterday, on November 14, 2024, Quintinsstraße in the old town of Mainz was transformed into a dangerous area of application! Around 4:30 p.m., a troubling announcement that the Mainz police alerted an alleged danger to life in an apartment building. All available resources were immediately mobilized, and the Special Operations Command of the Rhineland-Palatinate police was also part of the party. Roads were cordoned off to ensure the security of unpaid passers -by, which led to considerable traffic disruptions.

No danger inside!

After the emergency services had entered the apartment, they were welcomed by two completely surprised people who were luckily unharmed. A shock for everyone involved! After initial investigations, it seems that the message has nothing to do with the people found. The Mainz police suspect that it is a phenomenon called "Swatting", to which the perpetrator deliberately pass on incorrect information in order to trigger impressive police operations.

These unscrupulous actions are not only dangerous, they also represent clear crimes, including the pretense of a crime and the abuse of emergency calls. Such acts can be punished with several years in prison! Mainz's investigation is in full swing, and it is considered to invoice the person responsible for the high costs of the mission. Such operations quickly cost in the middle four -digit range!
