At around 6.30 am, the Solothurn canton police were informed that a hostage-taking had occurred in a building on the outskirts of Klus in Oensingen. “In addition, there was talk of several deaths,” read a message.

On the basis of this report, a larger contingent of the Solothurn canton police and various special services were transferred to the outside groups. This also included Falk’s special unit and the investigation and investigation service. The media service speaks of a total of several dozen emergency services that were at the scene.

“We have to take these reports seriously,” media spokesman Bruno Gribi said on request. “We made inquiries immediately, including the person who made the report.”

Investigations in a building in the ‘Landi’ area eventually showed that there was nothing in the report. Police searched the building and found no people in need. Then the go-ahead was given and the police operation was ended. It is not specified which building it is from.

The area around the Landi became the place of action:

Under medical treatment

Who made the police work on a large scale with the false report? “The notice of deprivation of liberty was submitted by a person who is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital,” the police wrote. It is “possibly related to the reporter’s health,” Bruno Gribi said.

The reason why the man sent the report is currently being clarified. (ldu)
