The police are asking for tips from the public regarding the whereabouts of the man. If there is a direct sighting, the emergency number should be called.

The 33-year-old was being held in Moringen for dangerous bodily harm and coercion. In September 2022, the police apprehended a fleeing prisoner in Celle after several days on the run. The 53-year-old had not returned to the Correctional Measure Facility after being granted permission to leave.
