Criminals buried nails in a children’s playground in Berlin-Reinickendorf. The playground was immediately closed and the police were alerted. Since yesterday, the district office has been repairing the damage. The Reinickendorf newsletter from the Tagesspiegel reports on this in its current issue.
On May 28, a citizen reported to the police that she had found nails in the “Indian Playground” in the Berlin district of Heiligensee. The alerted police officers were able to determine on site that several nails were apparently intentionally buried in the sand and in the wood chips.
The nails could be found in particular at the points where the children would leave the playground equipment, according to the communication. The playground was therefore immediately closed. All three existing “fall protection surfaces” would now have to be replaced, which will take about a week. The start of the replacement work was yesterday, Wednesday.
According to the district office, the installation of the new fall protection material will take place on June 7th and 8th, so that the playground on the Büsumer Path / Rundhofer Path – directly on the Heiligensee – could probably be released again from June 9th. The damage incurred amounts to around 10,000 euros for the new fall protection material and the personnel and machine costs incurred. The criminal police have started proceedings for attempted dangerous bodily harm and are now urgently looking for witnesses.
