Schwerin, Deutschland - On June 29, 2025, the police were called in Schwerin for an urgent commitment: a 31-year-old woman was in a psychological exception and was missing. Her girlfriend informed the authorities around 8 p.m. after the woman moved towards meadow and bush areas as well as train tracks in the Krebsförden district. The situation required quick action, which is why the federal police immediately blocked the route towards Parchim to ensure security in the affected area.

A police helicopter played a central role in the search. This was able to look out of the air quickly, while the police were too far away on the ground to help as quickly as possible.
