Unintentional jailbreak occurs in Ahaus-Ottenstein
A car parked on Wiegbold Street between 2:00 PM and 3:45 PM on Wednesday sustained damage on its driver's side, as a result of an unknown individual's actions. The exact nature of the damage is not specified in the report, and the suspect has yet to be identified.
The local authorities are currently investigating the incident, and they are seeking witnesses who may have information about the incident. If you were in the vicinity of Wiegbold Street during this time and observed anything suspicious, your help is needed.
Finding Witnesses
Here are some steps you can take to locate witnesses:
1. Question Neighbours and Residents
Go from house to house in the street and politely ask if anyone was home at the time and if they may have seen anything.
2. Local Shops and Businesses
If there are shops, cafés, or offices in the street, ask there as well. Employees might have seen something from the window.
3. Posters near Lights/Houses
Post short, factual notices about the incident and ask for help, leaving a contact method (preferably anonymously, such as an email or phone number).
4. Social Media
Post in local Facebook groups, "nebenan.de" or other neighbourhood platforms. Often, witnesses can be found quickly this way.
5. Dashcams
If there were cars with (permanently) running dashcams parked in the street, the recordings might be helpful. However, this is rare and data protection laws make it difficult.
6. Police or Property Management
Sometimes, the police have clues from other reports, or the property management knows tenants who are usually at home.
Legal Considerations
In Germany, it is difficult to find out who parked on a public street at a specific time without an official list or a parking system. Cities and municipalities usually do not keep such lists. Private CCTV recordings (provided they exist) can generally only be shown to the police for data protection reasons.
Tip: The sooner you act, the higher the chance of finding witnesses. Prepare a short, written description of the incident that you can give to all possible witnesses.
Quick Checklist
- Check directly on the scene
- Use local groups on social media
