Alarming needle bait at Uni Paderborn discovered - police warn!
Near the University of Paderborn was made alarming: On Wednesday morning, April 23, a witness discovered two prepared pieces of meat in a green area on the Broder-Carstensen-Weg. These were obviously determined as a needle bait and were reported around 8.30 a.m. The baits were housed in a concrete bucket opposite the University of Building P3, wrapped up with a dark tile and peppered with small needles. The incident is a serious danger to pets.
In the past two weeks there have been a total of nine reports about similar bait in the area. The police have now started investigations and urgently searches for information from the population. People who have made suspicious observations are asked to report on 05251/306-0 to prevent possible additional dangerous incidents.
Caution is required
In view of the repeated incidents, the police called the pet owners in the area to increase vigilance. It is advised to be particularly attentive and to report conspicuous objects or behaviors immediately. In the spring of 2024 there were already similar incidents with conifers in the area of the University of Paderborn. These incidents also include reports on Schneckenkorn, which was discovered on land in Paderborn-Wewer and Kirchborchen. Tragically, a dog probably died of poisoning by this snail grain. In addition, two dogs had to be put to sleep in August 2024 after they had eaten poison bait in the area of the Wilhelmsberg in Paderborn-Schloß Neuhaus. These incidents illustrate the persistent danger that comes from such baits.The police make it clear that the security of pets in the affected area is a top priority and calls on all animal owners to vigilance. The investigation remains active, while the search for possible witnesses will continue. An intruder who interprets such bait can have serious consequences for the wildlife and the affected owners.
The situation is worrying and shows that such incidents can always occur, which is why the community has to work closely together to avoid further tragedies. Further information can be found in the reports of lwz24 and Westfalen-blatt .
