Environment - Unknown persons dump several tons of tar on forest path

Unknown perpetrators have unloaded approximately three to four tonnes of hardened tar on a forest path in Oberfranken, Lichtenfels. According to the police, a witness discovered the substance on a forest path on Thursday. It is believed that the substance was unloaded using a truck. A spokesperson for the police stated that on the previous day in Redwitz an der Rodach, in the Lichtenfels district, tar was also found on a forest path. The police are now investigating potential environmental crimes and are seeking witnesses.

The tar found on the forest path in Lichtenfels is a concern for environmental crimes due to its potential impact on the surrounding forest. The police in Bavaria are also investigating a similar incident in Upper France, suggesting a potential cross-border issue. The local authorities in Lichtenfels are urging anyone with information about the truck used for unloading the tar on the forest path to contact the police.
