Overview
- A 47-year-old woman phoned the Hoyerswerda control center on Saturday evening claiming a lifeless woman was in a basement on Lomnitzer Straße in Seifersdorf and said she had begun resuscitation.
- Police, firefighters, and emergency medical services were dispatched, but responders found the named resident unharmed and determined no medical emergency existed at any time.
- Investigators consider the report a deliberate false statement and have filed a complaint for misuse of the emergency number.
- Authorities say the unnecessary deployment caused significant economic damage and tied up resources that could have been needed for real emergencies.
- The motive for the call remains unclear, and police remind the public that misuse of emergency calls is a criminal offense punishable by up to one year in prison or a fine.
