Weißenfels: Children are filmed by man on their way to school and call the police

Weissenfels – Last Wednesday officer in Weißenfels was informed of an incident in which three girls were apparently filmed on their way home from school. But it was all completely different.

The criminal police were able to identify the owner of a black car who lives near the crime scene.

As it turned out, he was looking for a parking space and asked his passenger to look for a free spot on foot.

When he got out, he was holding his cell phone in his hand. The children were obviously frightened by him and assumed he was being photographed with his cell phone. They then ran away.

The man even followed them because he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.

However, the passenger was a relative who matched the description and was visiting.

On September 3, the police will hold a prevention event on the topic of “Approaching children” at the school in question.
