Perpetrator filmed
16-year-old dragged into van in the middle of the day
Disturbing video footage is currently making the rounds online - it is said to show a teenager being forcibly taken away in broad daylight.
It's like a nightmare: on Friday afternoon, people run around excitedly in front of a restaurant in Erfurt city center and shout "police" loudly.
The captured images show a white van. Doors are slammed shut, the vehicle disappears in a hurry and accelerates hard. The passenger door is still open. The vehicle races at high speed between streetcars along Johannesstraße in Erfurt city center.
The police announced on social media that they were convinced of the authenticity of the footage: "We are aware of the facts, the video has been secured and police operations have been underway since yesterday." It is a case of "deprivation of liberty to the detriment of a 16-year-old".
According to "Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk", the case involves a Syrian girl who was being looked after by the youth welfare office and was being accommodated in a protective facility.
Investigations are underway
Attempts are currently being made to find out more about the background and the perpetrator(s), and the police are investigating at full speed. According to the "Deutsche Presse-Agentur", the police and public prosecutor's office are keeping the details under wraps to protect the girl.
