Manhole cover alarm in Ulm: Unknown people put pedestrians in danger of death!

In the early hours of Wednesday, October 25th, there was a worrying incident in Ulm that brought the police to the scene. At around 3:15 a.m., a witness noticed two unknown men on Weickmannstrasse forcefully lifting out manhole covers. The quick reaction of a patrol from the Ulm-West police station possibly prevented something worse from happening, as the officers quickly moved to the scene.

The police officers encountered several manhole covers that had been lifted out along Weickmannstrasse, which had been removed up to the intersection with Reichenauer Weg. These dangerous actions could pose serious risks to road users and pedestrians as unsecured shafts can lead to accidents. Fortunately, there were no injuries in this case and officers ensured that the heavy lids were returned to their place.

Dangerous interference with road traffic

The police are now investigating the unknown perpetrators, who not only violated property through this act, but also committed a dangerous interference with road traffic. This term describes actions that endanger the flow of traffic or can endanger other people. It remains unclear whether the perpetrators were aware of the possible consequences of their actions.

Officials have asked the public for assistance. Anyone who knows anything about this incident or can provide information about the unknown persons is urged to contact the Ulm-West police station on 0731/188-3812. It is crucial that such dangerous actions are quickly investigated to ensure safety in urban traffic.

The authorities take such incidents seriously as they can have far-reaching consequences for the safety of citizens. In a city where traffic is fast and moving, removing manhole covers can create significant chaotic potential.
