Officials search for evidence of an extraordinary theft series. But first, they pick up very different things. One last check: the breathing mask sits, the hoses are neatly connected and the safety seatbelt is correctly positioned. Then it goes for Wolfram Rohrabacher into the dark gray-green depth. He works at TEE, the police technical unit, which is asked for help in difficult cases. This time it is about a quite extraordinary: In summer a gang with six members in the teensier valley on the road. There the group broke again and again in hotels and pensions and captured well 40 000 euro. In early November, three men and one woman were arrested; two suspected perpetrators are still on the run.
Searching in the deep water is a Sisyphus work
So the work of the police continues: in the murky, she is now looking for evidence like a lever tool with which you can open doors. Rohrabacher slides slowly into the water. Wolfgang Herring is also watching. He is a dive group leader from Dachau and wears a dark whole body suit with a self-inflating life jacket around his neck, radio and service weapon in the belt. It does not dive today, but on the slippery shore the safety vest is mandatory. He knows the importance of his work: Without many evidence and DNA traces, many cases cannot be elucidated.
There are usually three to four divers with safety clothing in the police inflatable boat: a linen guide, the diver himself and a rescue diver, who can immediately help his colleague to help. Herring fits well on its employees. “If they are caught, they must not dive under any circumstances, because the pressure can quickly damage the eardrum,” he says. On today there is no strong current, about half a meter per second. At 2 to 3 meters visibility, searching is a Sisyphus work. No dust whirling is at any rate the goal of every diver, explains herring.
