Investigations - Alleged attack on students fabricated
A supposed mugging on two students in Pfaffenhofen was found out to be a lie of the two children. According to the police, investigations revealed that the 12 and 14-year-old boys likely wanted to skip school.
They had reported to the police that a group of five teenagers had forced them behind a shopping mall on a Wednesday, threatening them with a knife. They were allegedly bullied there for an hour and then taken into custody. Additionally, they were forced to hand over money.
However, according to a police spokesperson, the police found some inconsistencies in the children's account. Further investigations revealed that the story was fabricated. The spokesperson did not provide further details. The police are now investigating the students for falsely reporting a crime.
In their deceptive tale, the boys claimed the incident occurred in Upper Bavaria, specifically in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm. The police in Bavaria, despite their initial belief, became suspicious due to the inconsistencies in the children's story. The raid on the shopping mall in Pfaffenhofen was based on these supposed victim's accounts, but it now appears to have been a fruitless operation driven by criminality and determination. The police in Pfaffenhofen are now focusing their investigations on the two students involved in the deception story.
