A meme is currently circulating on Facebook that warns of men in dark clothing in Knittlingen who are hanging around near schools and kindergartens and are said to be approaching children. We asked for…
“ATTENTION
Dear parents, take care of your children.
In Knittlingen and the surrounding area, male people keep appearing who want to approach, pursue and take children with them.
These people often wear dark clothing and hang around near schools and kindergartens.Please contact the police and inform the other parents of your children’s classmates.”
Hoax or real?
For such cases we have our telephone slave employee Mike, who immediately contacted the Karlsruhe police. Although we did not find an official police report about the incidents stated in the meme, the press office of the Karlsruhe Police Department says:
“The situation described is not entirely correct.
There was an incident in Knittlingen where a man was on school grounds without authorization.
However, after being approached by a teacher, he left the premises. The colleagues in Knittlingen are currently investigating the incident, although there is currently no criminal relevance. The police are not yet aware of any further incidents in Knittlingen and the surrounding area.”
Conclusion
Yes, there was an incident involving a man who was on school property. Nothing has been proven criminally so far, but the incident remains under investigation.
