Title: Pasewalk's Waste Containers: Police Investigation Uncovers Misunderstanding
Contrary to initial rumors of theft, the Pasewalk waste paper and glass containers weren't swiped. Instead, they were picked up as part of an ongoing investigation, as reported by the Vorpommern-Greifswald police on Tuesday.
Previously, the municipality of Pasewalk had reported four containers missing, suggesting they'd been taken using a crane or similar equipment. A report was subsequently filed.
However, the police have now clarified that these containers were removed without the owners' knowledge, accompanied by an apologetic statement. The containers have since been returned to their original spots.
A police spokesperson was tight-lipped about the exact nature of the investigation, but recent events may have played a role. Last week, an 18-year-old woman was found dead in Pasewalk, leading the police to launch an investigation into a suspected homicide. They've apprehended a 20-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman as part of their inquiry.
