Falls pile up - A man escaped from detention
Repeatedly, a man has escaped from the Correctional Measure Facility in Moringen, Northeim. The 26-year-old has been missing since Monday afternoon, according to the police. There is reportedly no danger to the population or the fugitive.
It is still unclear how the man from the Correctional Measure Facility managed to escape, according to reports. In the Correctional Measure Facility, offenders with addiction or psychological issues are housed under court order. A helicopter and a drone were immediately searched for him after the disappearance was noticed. "The search measures are currently running at full speed," the Police reported.
The Sought-after has Contacts in Hannover
The Sought-after is reported to have personal contacts in the Hanover region. The officers are asking for tips from the population regarding the whereabouts of the man. In case of a direct sighting, the emergency call should be dialed; the man should not be approached directly.
The 26-year-old is reportedly 1.85 meters tall, slim, tattooed on the left forearm, has brown eyes and hair, and a scar under the left eyebrow. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, black jogging pants, a black cap, and a belly pouch.
Comparable Cases in the Recent Past
In the recent past, there have been several similar cases. In November, a prisoner who had escaped from the Correctional Measure Facility was arrested in France more than four months after his escape. The 33-year-old was being held in Moringen for dangerous bodily harm and coercion.
In September 2022, the police arrested a fugitive convict in Celle after several days of flight. The 53-year-old had not returned to the Correctional Measure Facility in Moringen after being granted permission to leave. Social media tips contributed to his capture.
Approximately a year ago, a tramp from the Correctional Measure Facility killed a woman in a cornfield. The Göttingen Regional Court sentenced the then 59-year-old to ten years in prison for manslaughter in February. The man filed a revision against the verdict at the latest. He had spent almost 44 years in prisons or the Correctional Measure Facility at the time of the verdict. "Every time he received leniency, he became recidivist," the presiding judge said at the beginning of the year.
