- Emergency evacuation necessitates law enforcement involvement.
On a chilly late-night, the local teenage firefighters conducted a drill in Wemding, Donau-Ries district, causing quite a buzz. A aged woman of 65 dialed emergency services past midnight on Saturday, alleging that a van driver had tossed something resembling a corpse into the city's moat before fleeing the scene, as per the police. The husband of the eyewitness, also 74, spotted an object on the city moat's bottom which appeared suspiciously like a body, reports stated. In response to this alarm, several police squads and dog handlers were hastily dispatched to the spot. Yet, this unexpected incident was swiftly resolved: upon scrutiny, it was discovered that there was no corpse in the moat, but instead, a training mannequin from the fire department's arsenal, having been purposefully tossed there during the fire brigade's night exercise.
The elderly woman's curious claim about the van driver and the corpse in the moat sparked concern among the local community. Despite the initial uncertainty, the curious nature of the situation led to a thorough investigation by the police.
