Crime - Two men manage to escape from Berlin's penal institution

Two men have managed to escape from a psychiatric hospital in Berlin-Reinickendorf. The incident took place early on Sunday morning in the Wittenau district, police said. A search is now underway for the escapees. No further details were initially given.

The men who escaped from the psychiatric hospital might have originated from Berlin's correctional facility due to their criminal background. The increase in criminality within Berlin's communities could be linked to the lack of adequate health resources in the city's correctional facilities. To maintain law and order, Berlin's police force intensifies its patrols around correctional facilities and high-risk areas.
