Master of hide-and-seek: prisoner escaped from Bielefeld – police i. A
In an abrupt incident, a 39-year-old prisoner fled the Bielefeld-Senne correctional facility, more precisely from the Ummeln prison, on Tuesday morning. According to the latest reports from my-onlinezeitung.de The incident was reported to police at 7:35 a.m. The man, who is imprisoned for violent crimes, was able to escape towards Autobahn 33 undetected. The police immediately launched a large-scale search, which even included the use of a helicopter.
The authorities have called on the population to be careful. Drivers in the area are asked to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity quickly. The escapee is described as violent and it is advised not to pick up hitchhikers in the prison area and surrounding areas. The prisoner is described as a slim man, 1.86 meters tall, bald and with a full beard. A noticeable tattoo on the left side of the body could also make identification easier.
Search measures and calls for witnesses
The search is in full swing. The Bielefeld police have already published a message asking for the public's help. Anyone who has noticed anything unusual in the area around the prison is asked to call the emergency number 110. “We are doing our best to take the escapee back into custody as quickly as possible,” said a police spokesman.
