house occupation - A person lives in an empty building complex for months
In Frankfurt, a man lived undiscovered for months in a vacant senior living complex. The 47-year-old man used his craftsmanship to sneak into the building complex, according to the police. He had transformed the spaces into his "personal castle."
His hiding place had been undiscovered for months due to the disguise of the entrance door, the police added. "The rightful owner discovered the craftsmanship by chance and filed a complaint for trespassing." The "creative squatter" was given "a generous amount of time" - a week - to vacate the 90 square meter, fully furnished apartment.
Man identified as suspect in other crimes
However, while the officers were still on site, the situation developed into a real crime scene, the police continued. A passing resident recognized the 47-year-old as the perpetrator of an assault. Another resident identified him as the perpetrator of a threat. Both incidents had occurred in the immediate vicinity of the house and at night.
Furthermore, investigators found out that the Criminal Investigation Department was already looking for the homeless man in connection with two hate crime offenses. The police initiated corresponding criminal proceedings against the 47-year-old and released him afterwards.
- The police in Frankfurt were initially just dealing with a case of house occupation, but their investigation led them to discover the man's involvement in other crimes related to Criminality.
