After several alleged attempts to kidnap children in Leipzig, patrols are increasing in the affected district of Paunsdorf. That’s what the police said. The alleged perpetrator, a 42-year-old man, is now in detention.
It’s also about strengthening residents’ sense of security after the incidents, Leipzig Police Chairman Torsten Schultze said, according to MDR Jump. Investigators also expected more witness evidence.
The man is said to have tried several times Tuesday morning to kidnap children. According to the police, two four-year-old boys were heading to kindergarten with their mothers. He could briefly lure one of the girls to him and run away with him. When they followed him, he released the boy, said the head of the inspection of the criminal police in Leipzig, Lutz Mädler on Wednesday night. The four-year-old was unharmed.
Search with large number of policemen
Then the suspect attacked a seven-year-old boy who was alone on his way to elementary school. He tried to participate in sexual acts with the girl. The boy had “fought a lot,” Mädler said. Then the man released her.
In addition, investigators accuse the man of having asked a driver to take him away. When she got out, he is said to have grabbed her to get her out of his vehicle. The woman was finally able to reject him.
With a large contingent and the use of police dogs and a helicopter, the man had been searched. According to the police, investigators assume that the man is responsible for all the attacks. He was caught in a grove on Tuesday afternoon.
